21 MR. RAMPTON: If we go to Madrid, Mr. Stein -- my Lord, this is
22 (iii) on page 9; it is cent passage 37 in the Abstract on
23 page 17 of tab 7. The allegation, Mr. Stein, reads as
24 follows: "On 30th January 1986, the Plaintiffs" -- and
25 I ask you to remember those words "the Plaintiffs" --
26 "sacked four workers in Madrid, Spain, who had called a
27 meeting on 24th January 1986 to request the holding of
28 union elections in the Plaintiffs' establishment at
29 Grandevia in Madrid.
30
31 The Madrid labour court found that the Plaintiffs had acted
32 illegally and ordered the employees' reinstatement without
33 the option of compensation. The Plaintiffs then
34 transferred 20 employees from the Grandevia unit to other
35 restaurants." Mr. Stein, do you remember an event in
36 Madrid in 1986 or, as I think it may be, 1987?
37 A. Yes, I do.
38
39 Q. Was it 86 or was it 87, not that it may matter very much?
40 A. I thought it was 87. I thought it was, like, November
41 or something.
42
43 Q. Never mind. Was there a restaurant, a McDonald's
44 restaurant, at Grandevia ---
45 A. Grandevia, yes, sure.
46
47 Q. -- Madrid at that time? By whom was that restaurant owned?
48 A. There was a joint venture partnership in Spain; our
49 partner was Camillo Mira.
50
51 Q. A question I should have asked you yesterday and forgot to
52 do: You said that the Company, the Corporation, has a
53 stake in a joint venture partnership. What is the nature
54 of that stake or partnership?
55 A. Financial.
56
57 Q. Does it own the premises?
58 A. The partnership would own the premises.
59
60 Q. Does the Corporation in such circumstances have any
