2 MR. RAMPTON: I do not know what he has been given.
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Hand it back, Mr. Preston. Sit down and wait
5 until you are asked civilly by someone -- it is not digging
6 at you, Ms. Steel -- to do something with the documents you
7 are given.
8
9 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, might I ask Mr. Preston some questions
10 just about this?
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Mr. Preston's looks like that. I can
13 see that now.
14
15 MR. RAMPTON: This is a document, my Lord, a sheet of notes. It
16 has a divider A in front of it. The notes relate to the
17 counterclaim. It should go at the front of that file which
18 Mr. Preston has, and Mrs. Brinley-Codd is going to put it
19 in and then Mr. Preston will have what everybody else has.
20 Your Lordship should also have it.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: After the first index, I do not have
23 a divider A or anything like that, but I have something
24 which has a page 1 at the bottom and a star and "media
25 briefing" at the top.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: That is correct, my Lord, in manuscript.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is A, is it?
30
31 MR. RAMPTON: That is A.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I do not need the divider; I will use the
34 post-it. Yes?
35
36 MS. STEEL: If you could turn to page 1, please. Have you seen
37 this document before?
38 A. Yes, I have.
39
40 Q. It has not actually got a title on it. Can you tell us
41 what it is?
42 A. Well, it does not have a title; it starts "media
43 briefing". I assume it must be someone's notes about media
44 briefing, goals of having done so.
45
46 Q. It is Edi Bensilum's writing; is it not?
47 A. I do not know what her writing looks like. It could
48 be.
49
50 Q. You do not know what her writing looks like? You must have
51 seen it more often than I have and I certainly ----
52 A. I have certainly seen it, but I don't know ----
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Whether you recognise someone's writing, I do
55 not know how many thousands of people's writing
56 Mr. Preston sees.
57
58 MS. STEEL: I would have thought that Edi Bensilum's was one he
59 saw quite often.
