3 MR. MORRIS: Right. If we can have the original documents on
4 which he based that? Can I make a general point about we
5 are not happy with documents that are created just for the
6 purposes of this case in terms of statistics and records.
7 We want to see original documents which we are not going to
8 go into now, but that applies to the UK and US accident
9 statistics, workers' accident statistics. I have not gone
10 into it in detail but I think there can be a problem with
11 those kind of documents. It depends, of course, what they
12 are based on.
13
14 The next is Jarrets: Obviously, our position on McDonald's
15 suppliers is those that have signed the food specifications
16 document, basically, give McDonald's the right for access
17 to their documents which must include copying. The word
18 "inspection", I believe, is a legal word that covers the
19 right to have a copy. But, in any event, that is what in
20 terms of McKey's Mr. Walker said. He said also that
21 McKey's would have a right to have a copy of any document
22 at Jarrets. That could be checked out.
23
24 I am sorry about this, but I have not actually had time
25 check the statement of Ms. Hovey. Professor Jackson did
26 say he had seen documents at Jarrets which he relied upon.
27 I know we have had some documents from Jarrets. They may
28 be ones that Professor Jackson saw or exactly equivalent
29 ones on different days. But, basically, it is the ones
30 that he referred to. I am trying to do this quickly, so it
31 may be if it can help you, I can check that out.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: If it be helpful, I can be more specific on both of
36 those in the next few days.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I think the main thing now is to get
39 through your heads. I would, in any event, as soon as you
40 can specify precisely which ones they are for any further
41 argument which arises, but for the moment carry on as you
42 are now.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: Yes. The other one is documents that Dr. Clark saw
45 in his visit to McDonald's stores. I can remind the court
46 that, of course, our witness was not able to see documents,
47 Mr. North.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. What kind of document was it? Can you
50 remind me? What area was it in, what field?
51
52 MR. MORRIS: He visited three stores in Scotland.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I remember that.
55
56 MR. MORRIS: He took temperatures of all the freezing units and
57 chillers. He took samples, a temperature check on the
58 finished products. If we are able to identify those in the
59 next couple of days, just to be absolutely clear, but it
60 would include on page 4 of his statement customer
