     1
     2   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I will do is -----
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  We can leave this until Mr. Smith attends court.
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  If he is coming anyway, I do not understand the
     9        point of this.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  We are trying to go through and see if we have all
    12        got the same statements.
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, that is not a useful exercise of your
    15        Lordship's time, with respect.   It really is not.  There
    16        are a number of things to be dealt with today that do
    17        matter.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  It does matter because the judge did not have a
    20        copy of his statement.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will put it at the back of F7 together with
    23        a transcript of the programme.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  OK.  Then we can leave it until then.  The
    26        next one I want to deal with is George Haneka which his own
    27        translation.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is G7.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  From Germany.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  That will not take two minutes to read.
    34        Shall I do that straight away.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  Can I make a request to your Lordship please? Mrs.
    37        Brindley-Codd has kindly given my permission to be absent
    38        from court while Mr. Morris reads all the various
    39        statement.  There is a very good reason for that that my
    40        presence in court costs my clients money, which it need not
    41        do.  There is no virtual purpose in my being here while
    42        Mr. Morris goes through all those statements.
    43        Mr. Atkinson, if your Lordship does not think it
    44        discourteous, will be here and Mrs. Brindley-Cod, so I
    45        would invite your Lordship to say leave all the reading of
    46        the statements until after we have done all the contentious
    47        matters this morning and then Mrs. Brinley-Codd and I can
    48        leave court.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Were you not going to deal with the voluntary 
    51        particulars? 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:  I have not, I am afraid, I have not had time to sort
    54        that out.  Is it possible to do that on Monday, maybe after
    55        Mr. Carriere has finished?
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  Certainly that is a possibility.  There is another
    58        thing I would invite your Lordship to deal on Monday.
    59        I now have the statement of Professor Nations, the
    60        nutrition person from our side which we will distribute
