Day 200 - 12 Dec 95 - Page 27


     
     1        Friday to deal with the things which are there.  I see no
     2        point in all coming back at 2 o'clock just to have 10
     3        minutes of quarter of an hour on that.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  Mrs. Brinley-Codd will write to Ms. Steel about
     6        that in the interim anyway, so that may well fall away.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just ask, Fiona Winter, who is the person who
     9        did the two surveys in Peckham and Leeds on the diets of
    10        young people -- I cannot remember now it was early on in
    11        the case -- and I think that was a time when we were asking
    12        for a Civil Evidence Act notice to be considered for her,
    13        I believe, and we may not have formally done that, but it
    14        may be, in the light of this ruling, in any case useful to
    15        bring her to court.  Can anybody remember whether that
    16        Civil Evidence Notice was put on and whether it was
    17        accepted?
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Think about that.  Quite frankly, I do not
    20        think it is for me to go looking to find it.  You find it
    21        for yourself.  Ask Mrs. Brinley-Codd, if need be, or
    22        Mr. Atkinson if ---
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  We can certainly call her.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- they can help.  But what I would like on
    27        Friday is some real help from you as to just who you want
    28        back, and then the timings so that we can make, in due
    29        course, some proper provision for further nutrition
    30        evidence in the timetable.
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:   The thing about Dr. Wheelock and Dr. Arnott is all
    33        really I want to read through all their evidence before
    34        deciding about them.  Obviously, we can give an answer
    35        about our witnesses, but if we could look at that over
    36        Christmas rather than to make a definite decision on that?
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Come back to it on Friday.  If you say that
    39        you think you may want Professor Wheelock and Dr. Arnott
    40        back but you want to think about it further over the
    41        Christmas vacation, so be it, but certainly think about
    42        your own witnesses.  Professor Crawford is going to come
    43        back anyway.
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:  And we do intend to call Jane Brophey.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And you do intend to call Jane Brophey, and
    48        let me know if anything else occurs to you by Friday.
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, just in the three minutes remaining, your 
    51        Lordship did ask when it was that your Lordship said 
    52        something about Mr. North's further statement.  It was on 
    53        26th September when Mr. Morris told your Lordship -- I will
    54        give the transcript reference numbers because everybody has
    55        them now; they are pages 12 and 13 of 26th September 1995
    56         -- that he had "contacted Mr. North last night and spoken
    57        to him.  He had been involved in a number of court cases
    58        over the last four months.  He said that he apologised for
    59        not having done anything, but that he would try to do
    60        something by the end of October".  Then I said that I was
