Day 246 - 09 May 96 - Page 04
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I know but ----
2
3 MS. STEEL: OK. You said you have seen it before but the first
4 number we have on our page is No. 2, so I do not know
5 whether it is actually the first sheet of it or whether
6 this is another part or if this is just a later part of
7 it. That is why I was asking what the document is.
8 A. I do not know. I just have what you have.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You said you have seen it before. Where have
11 you seen it before?
12 A. I saw this just the other day in the counterclaim
13 discussions with solicitors.
14
15 Q. Are you familiar with what the document is or not?
16 A. Well, I think I know a bit about it; whether I know its
17 entire contents, I am not sure. It looks to me like an
18 internal discussion document about what we expect both
19 internally and externally will come before us regarding the
20 media as the case begins, sir.
21
22 MS. STEEL: Have you seen a number of these internal discussion
23 documents?
24 A. No, I do not normally even bother to look.
25
26 Q. You do not see them at all?
27 A. No, I make no effort to.
28
29 Q. Right. Is the situation this, that you basically had
30 nothing to do with the, sort of, discussions about putting
31 out leaflets and press releases to the media about this
32 case except for giving it the go-ahead?
33 A. I gave it the final blessing, yes. Yes, that was it.
34
35 Q. That is the total sum of your involvement?
36 A. I said yesterday, as the case was postponed two times,
37 I think, in 1994, early 1994, I was kept abreast of what
38 was happening at the time but I did not participate in the
39 discussions as to, "Oh, if it's postponed, we do this now.
40 We have to wait". I was not in that talk.
41
42 Q. Were you in the discussions about what was going in the
43 leaflets and the press releases?
44 A. No.
45
46 Q. Who they would be sent to?
47 A. No.
48
49 Q. No?
50 A. I was not.
51
52 Q. Right. Just while we on this first page, can you tell us
53 what a match card is in the square brackets at the end of
54 No. 2?
55 A. Media... something. I think it was a list of phone
56 numbers of people to contact, if I remember, if someone had
57 a question or not. I do not remember the exact initials.
58 I am pretty sure it is a list of phone numbers, contact
59 phone numbers.
