2 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord.
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He looked at it outside. In fact, if you
5 want, he can have the transcript or you can put that to
6 him, if you want to do it that way.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: Yes. The only thing about the abstract is that the
9 abstract in some ways is superseded by Dr. Millstone's
10 evidence which is now our case.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You do it ----
13
14 MR. MORRIS: So it is a rough guide.
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, does that mean, and I need to know, that
17 I can forget about what is pleaded in the abstract or not?
18
19 MS. STEEL: Some of the things on additives that are in the
20 abstract are not included in Dr. Millstone's statement.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I know. Are you going to call anyone else
23 who will add to the statement which Dr. Millstone gives in
24 relation to adverse reactions?
25
26 MR. MORRIS: No.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I thought that was the case. So, save and in
29 so far as Dr. Millstone covers it ----
30
31 MR. MORRIS: That is our evidence.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is your evidence. Let us start off with
34 Sunset Yellow then, because we have identified the two
35 references he has given there: No. 1, and I see what was in
36 the statement about that; No. 2, No. 9, and I see what was
37 in the statement about that and I have read the effective
38 part of that paper. Do you want to ask him a question as
39 to what, if any, other reactions ----
40
41 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness): Are there any other relevant
42 reactions from Sunset Yellow apart from the ones we have
43 already mentioned?
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Apart from hypersensitive reactions and
46 gastroenteritis?
47 A. Only problems of hyperactivity in children because, as
48 I indicated in the document I prepared, quite frequently
49 parents of hyperactive children have reported to the
50 Hyperactive Children Support Group and others that Sunset
51 Yellow is one of the materials which appeared able to
52 trigger such reactions in their children.
53
54 MR. MORRIS: Apart from the hyperactivity are there any other --
55 for example, skin rashes is down in the original pleadings;
56 I am not sure if you touch on that -- are there any other
57 of those kinds of reactions you have not specified so far?
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is another way of asking, about
60 hypersensitive reactions in man which is a very general
