     1        because I am bound to say I agree with your Lordship that
     2        what matters about that advertising campaign is two
     3        things:  First, whether it was apt to deceive those who
     4        read it and, secondly, whether it was intended to have that
     5        effect.  Without conceding the principle, because I may
     6        assert my right to blank out in relation to other documents
     7        in the future, and without conceding that principle, but in
     8        order to curtail what, frankly, I have to say I regard as a
     9        somewhat idiotic argument, I am instructed to disblank, if
    10        I can coin a word, the bits that I blanked out so that the
    11        Defendants may see for themselves why it is that they have
    12        been blanked out, and why it is that they are irrelevant to
    13        either of those two questions which I mentioned a moment
    14        ago.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, very well.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  If they think they have had some kind of a
    19        triumph, looking at the smirks on their faces by my saying
    20        that, they should think again, because I have done it in
    21        order simply that we should save time and it will not
    22        happen again if I think it appropriate to blank out a
    23        document.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, you are not making any concession of
    26        principle?
    27
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I am not.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  Can we just clarify that we are going to get the
    31        complete document of all pages and all text?
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What do you mean "all text"?
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  I mean all the material.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are going to get a copy of the document.
    38
    39   MR. MORRIS:  The complete document, yes.
    40
    41   MS. STEEL:  Both the new one that has been found and the old one
    42        that they had originally.
    43
    44   MR. RAMPTON:  The new one is not a new one; it is the full
    45        version of the old one.
    46
    47   MS. STEEL:  If we could have both anyway.  I think it would save
    48        any further argument.
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  It is a concession I make; it is not anything more 
    51        than that. 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:  I am just trying to clarify what the position is.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  So does that mean that we are going to get both
    56        versions?
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What do you mean, "both versions"?
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  Apparently, there is a new version that has been
