Day 252 - 20 May 96 - Page 48
1 certainly served; I just do not know where it was put.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Just pause a minute. Have you got a
4 copy there so I can see what it looks like?
5
6 MR. MORRIS: Well, that is what the front page looks like.
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have found something which is labelled
9 "Defendants Fourth Supplementary List" but that is in a
10 bright blue bundle 4 and it does not have the World Health
11 Organisation paper on it.
12
13 MR. MORRIS: I think the best course is to read out the sections
14 and if the witness ----
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He must have a copy. Whether anyone else
17 does or not ----
18
19 MS. STEEL: I will hand up my copy to the witness (Handed).
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you are going to attach weight to parts of
22 this, you must track it down, because when we come to
23 speeches, unless I know where things are and have them at
24 my fingertips ----
25
26 MR. MORRIS: It has been put to witnesses before, so it will be
27 on the transcript.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I appreciate that. I recognise what you are
30 talking about and it is probably there somewhere, but I
31 need to know where it is.
32
33 MR. MORRIS: To be honest, probably asking me would be the last
34 person to ask as our documents are often in a mess.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I know, but, essentially, it is your
37 responsibility to keep track of where documents are. I
38 know in a case of this length you can lose track of them
39 easily, but when something like this crops up you have to
40 make a note to find out where it is.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: Maybe because it was thick, it has 52 sides of
43 papers, you may have kept in your room.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It may well be that you gave me an original
46 and that I have it in my room but I do not recognise it
47 from the pale blue cover. I recognise, for instance, the
48 green one there. I have that in my room, I think, and I
49 have some of the various grey books in my room. Anyway,
50 carry on with Professor Naismith now, but give me the
51 references clearly so I can make a note of them.
52
53 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness): The initial question is: The
54 World Health Organisation would be substantial
55 authoritative body, would it?
56 A. I would agree with that, yes.
57
58 Q. And this report, are you familiar with its contents if you
59 do not remember the details?
60 A. Yes.
