1 and until the Defendants, having considered the Court of
2 Appeal case, suggest that I ought to reconsider it in the
3 light of that case -- blanking out parts of a document and
4 then allowing them to creep in later, or some of them, if
5 it helps the party who has done the blanking out. It is
6 premature to reach any view on that because you have not
7 looked yet.
8
9 MR. RAMPTON: I would hardly have blanked out intentionally
10 something that helped me, I do not think, but I will
11 undertake to have a look later. In fact, what I will do
12 is I will pass it to Mrs. Brinley-Codd.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You do not have to consider your position on
15 that this afternoon ---
16
17 MR. RAMPTON: No.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- unless you decide to put in the whole
20 document after all.
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: I might do that. I quite agree with your
23 Lordship in a case of this character if one starts to feed
24 back in bits that have been blanked out, it may be
25 desirable, to say the least, that the whole thing should
26 go in so I can understand it. But I will give it to
27 Mrs. Brinley-Codd. It is in any event perhaps only a
28 matter of comment.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It would mean for instance that -- no, I
31 have thought better. I have nothing to add to what I have
32 already been said.
33
34 MR. RAMPTON: I will also have another look at the first
35 memorandum, the one of December 2nd.
36
37 There is one other matter before I go backwards to 1986,
38 Mr. Gardner: As you noticed from that letter in the
39 Time Magazine mock-up, it was intended that the campaign
40 should be a year-long campaign for 1987. That is what
41 Mr. Rensi stated in his letter to the McDonald's family,
42 was it not?
43 A. That is what he stated, yes, sir.
44
45 Q. Could I ask you to be so kind as to find the yellow bundle
46 No. V, Nutrition V?
47 A. No. V, Mr. Rampton?
48
49 Q. No. V with "Nutrition" printed on the spine.
50 A. I have it.
51
52 Q. The second tab of that volume ought to contain a statement
53 by John Horwitz?
54 A. I have it.
55
56 Q. Does that have (and this is a genuine enquiry because I do
57 not know the answer) any additional documents behind it?
58 A. It does.
59
60 Q. It does? Does it have, amongst other things, a memorandum
