2 Q. Perhaps you would like to, Defendants' documents -----
3
4 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord. Again I believe it is going to be a
5 press cutting. The correct procedure is to put the details
6 to the witness, ask him if he knows about it; if he does
7 not, then that is the end of matter.
8
9 MS. STEEL: I am asking him if he knows about it. I am
10 just asking him to read it and see whether his answer
11 remains the same.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You can easily put the facts of it. It does
14 not make any difference.
15
16 MS. STEEL: It might remind him if he sees it. As far as I am
17 aware, I am allowed to do that.
18
19 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord, that is not right.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, just put the facts in it.
22
23 MS. STEEL: I feel that this is a deliberate attempt by
24 Mr. Rampton to try to prevent us from cross-examining
25 effectively. He is trying to throw us off track. I am
26 trying to follow procedure.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: First of all, put the facts in the article if
29 you wish to take them from the article.
30
31 MS. STEEL: I have put the facts in the article.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. He has asked for more details. At the
34 moment what you have put of an incident a couple of months
35 ago where the customer was sold McNuggets, Chicken
36 McNuggets, containing salmonella. He told you he was not
37 aware of that and, perhaps quite helpfully, said: "Maybe
38 if you gave me more details". So, what I suggest, by all
39 means refer me, if you like, first of all, give me the
40 reference so I can look at it and I will help you through
41 it. You should be able to put everything you want without
42 him actually seeing it.
43
44 MS. STEEL: Are you aware of an incident in Shrewsbury where a
45 customer was sold Chicken McNuggets which were under-cooked
46 and which contained salmonella?
47 A. I have not heard of that, no.
48
49 Q. Can we look at the latest list of documents, Defendants
50 documents, served on 18th January?
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is bundle V. Defendants' Supplemental
53 List of Documents, bundle V. Have you got the divider
54 number?
55
56 MS. STEEL: Yes, it is document No. 2, page 13 of that bundle.
57
58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just read what is on that page.
59
60 THE WITNESS: I do not have any page numbers on this.
