Day 259 - 10 Jun 96 - Page 72
1 MS. STEEL: Actually, the other thing about the photographs,
2 Mr. Morris had a note -----
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us deal with the video, first of all. Is
5 there anything more you want to say about that?
6
7 MS. STEEL: No.
8
9 MR. MORRIS: I think there are sections about nutrition. It may
10 just be we want to put them to one of our witnesses, such
11 as Jane Brophy.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If your instructing solicitors can find out
14 just what situation is and let me know by next Monday
15 morning at the latest what the position is, and if the
16 video can be obtained before the end of the week I will be
17 grateful; but I do not know what the difficulties may or
18 may not be.
19
20 MR. RAMPTON: I cannot, myself, believe that there is anything
21 else that needs to be dealt with.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What were the other things?
24
25 MS. STEEL: One thing is, I mentioned about the photographs
26 that were handed up this morning. In there, there were,
27 I think, at least two or three photographs from October
28 1989 which we had not seen before, and when we were asking
29 Mr. Carroll he did say there were several cameras there on
30 that day, you know, two or three, or something like that.
31 It would appear that, in fact, the Plaintiffs have probably
32 got another film that was taken on that day, in which case
33 we would like all of those photographs from the picket to
34 be disclosed as, obviously, they would be relevant
35 evidence.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you know what the position is,
38 Mr. Rampton?
39
40 MR. RAMPTON: I am told there is not. I am also told -- and I
41 have to take Mrs. Brinley-Codd's word for it, whatever
42 Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris may say -- those photographs that
43 were handed over today they were disclosed -- not last
44 October -- October 1993; but that matters not. They have
45 got them now, and that is all I am instructed there is. If
46 I am wrong about that, then the position will be remedied.
47 Mrs. Brinley-Codd will, I am sure, check it this evening.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not going to suggest that it is a case
50 for specific discovery with affidavits, but as a compromise
51 situation what, I think, would be helpful is once Mrs.
52 Brinley-Codd has ascertained the position to her own
53 satisfaction, if she writes and tells Ms. Steel and
54 Mr. Morris and it is copied to me, then it will be out in
55 the public domain.
56
57 MR. RAMPTON: I am sure she will.
58
59 MS. STEEL: OK. The other thing I want to raise is we have
60 just had a package from a barrister and we may want to
