2 MR. RAMPTON: Is it headed, may I as, "35859"?
3
4 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
5
6 MR. RAMPTON: Where is, I ask through your Lordship, the
7 allegation about salmonella food poisoning in this
8 document?
9
10 MR. MORRIS: No, it does not mention "salmonella".
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: No, it does not mention "food poisoning" either.
13
14 MR. MORRIS: About raw chicken though, sorry.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: At the moment I am just trying to make sure
17 I have the right document. It is one with "35859" in the
18 top right-hand corner, is it?
19
20 MR. MORRIS: I am sorry. I actually thought it mentioned
21 "salmonella".
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just collect your thoughts. Is that the
24 document you wanted to refer to or another one?
25
26 MR. MORRIS: The reason I mention that particularly is it says
27 at the bottom -----
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Look, I am sorry -----
30
31 MR. MORRIS: I am trying not to quote it directly.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is not the point I am on. Are you
34 looking at a document which in the top right-hand corner
35 has "35859"?
36
37 MR. MORRIS: That is the one, yes.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You see, I have not got past that stage yet
40 of finding the right document.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: It is the fourth one in.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I was actually on the next page.
45 (To the witness): Anyway, you have the right document?
46 A. Yes, I have, sir.
47
48 MR. MORRIS: It says at the bottom, or it could say at the
49 bottom ----
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, just pause a moment. Professor Jackson
52 has had an opportunity to look through it. What is your
53 question on it? Just ask a question.
54
55 MR. MORRIS: The question I am going to ask is that there may be
56 circumstances when there is a complaint by customers or a
57 ruling by a Magistrates Court, or whatever, that samples of
58 the product are sent back to McDonald's for analysis. Did
59 you hear about anything like that, McDonald's analysing
60 samples of material that were the subject of complaints or
