1 into a monthly summary because it is just too much
2 paperwork. That is the way we do it.
3
4 MR. MORRIS: Obviously our interest is to have information that
5 can go to the truth and the monthly -----
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I understand that, but we are not going to
8 find the document with the headline across the top "This is
9 the truth". You have to specify just what document it is
10 which you would like and which you think might be helpful
11 to an issue one way or another which is why I have asked
12 the questions I have.
13
14 MS. STEEL: Can I just suggest the summary for January 1994
15 which was when Mr. Jackson visited, August 1994 which is
16 when Mr. North visited and then June or July 1992?
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: 92 or 93?
19
20 MS. STEEL: 1992. He said they were kept for two years or
21 something. I suppose they might not still be and, well,
22 the old ones thigh have got ----
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The first ones still available.

35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
37
38 THE WITNESS: If I can make some phone calls today I can
39 possibly get it arranged possibly to have them maybe for
40 tomorrow.
41
42 MS. STEEL: I do not know whether it is possible to get better
43 copies of the ones that are in tab 8.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is another problem. If you care to talk
46 to Mrs. Brinley-Codd or Mr. Atkinson about that. Yes,
47 Mr. Rampton.

49 MR. RAMPTON: I do not think, my Lord if your Lordship will
50 forgive me, it would be appropriate to argue any question
51 of principle at this hour and without notice. I do not
52 make any concession in relation to the question whether, as
53 a matter of law, your Lordship has any power to order
54 McDonald's to disclose such documents, they being documents
55 in the possession of Sun Valley. What I did say the other
56 day was, and I adhere to this, more so in the light of what
57 Dr. Pattison has said, that we would make a courtesy
