3 So, you have made your point, that you argue that in so far
4 as Mr. Rampton said on a previous occasion that he is
5 entitled to choose what he sets about establishing to be
6 untrue, you say: "Well, OK, but you have got to identify
7 what that is". In due course, I will hear whatever
8 Mr. Rampton wants to say about that, not now, I suggest,
9 because it is more important that by 1 o'clock you touch on
10 as many of these matters as you can.
11
12 MS. STEEL: This was going to be the last one we were dealing
13 with this morning anyway.
14
15 MR. MORRIS: We could deal with the other matters but -----
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: There is one thing which occurs to me, and it
18 entirely depends upon the course Mr. Rampton wants to
19 follow, but you were anxious about the extent of
20 admissions. If (and only if) Mr. Rampton would like to
21 give a thumbnail sketch of his understanding of the law in
22 relation to that, I would welcome it and you would be able
23 to hear it, but it is entirely a matter for you,
24 Mr. Rampton. I am not putting you under any pressure to
25 say anything.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: It is fairly straightforward.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I had a very quick look (and it was a very
30 quick look) at the authorities in your bundle.
31
32 MR. MORRIS: Just before we deal with that, can we just finish
33 off the last point?
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Certainly. I thought Ms. Steel had said that
36 was it.
37
38 MR. MORRIS: Just that the Plaintiffs have identified some parts
39 of some of the leaflets with orange markings, you may
40 remember. They have not exactly pleaded those, but they
41 have identified what they are saying is untrue in some of
42 the leaflets, but they have not done it with the Fact
43 Sheet.
44
45 MS. STEEL: They have not done it with any -- in fact, they
46 have not actually done it properly with any of the
47 leaflets.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I may be misunderstanding completely. The
50 orange highlightings are not in relation to this leaflet.
51 They may well indirectly point you to allegations in this
52 leaflet in that they are expressed in identical or similar
53 terms in the other leaflets.
54
55 MS. STEEL: I do not know. I am not sure what Dave is trying
56 to say.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: The point is they should say in the Fact Sheet what
59 they are saying is untrue.
