Day 292 - 01 Nov 96 - Page 44


     
     1   MR. MORRIS:   Right.  In the documents I have handed over, which
     2        are not particularly clear, but the main thing is you can
     3        read the references.  The first page is day 59, and the
     4        first numbers are the page numbers and the second numbers
     5        are the line numbers.  And I thought, to save time, I would
     6        do this - no doubt it will be used against me in future if
     7        Mr. Rampton can find anything - but, without looking at the
     8        transcripts, although there is a lot in transcripts which
     9        could be ----
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You heard what I said about that.  This is
    12        the sort of thing which is helpful to me.  I can see the
    13        day and the page and you can expand on your note if you
    14        want.  Do you want to read the notes?
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:   I will read the notes out to make my point and it
    17        will come out on the transcript.  The first one, page 57,
    18        recycling initiative gained momentum due to public
    19        awareness, Environmental Task Force, October 1990.
    20
    21        Page 58, line 32 to page 59, line 43:  First step re
    22        recycling was Nottingham in 1988 and it was all dumped.
    23        Then four years later the Lynne Pack plant opened.
    24
    25        Page 59 to 60:  Environmental policy did not affect its
    26        department, it says, but on page 62 he said it did affect
    27        the communications department.  At the bottom of page 62,
    28        line 50, that is where he said it was just on a wall, the
    29        actual policy, that is where he had seen it.
    30
    31        Then on pages 64 to 65, the McFact cards, the Nottingham
    32        issue came up.  And page 66, in the middle of the page,
    33        there was the Advertising Standards Authority criticism of
    34        the advert which claimed that their packaging was
    35        recyclable, and the fact that they had used the Nottingham
    36        scheme as an example in their letters to the ASA - now, I
    37        don't know how much I went into it on that actual day, but
    38        we had heard evidence elsewhere in the case they had used
    39        the Nottingham scheme as an example of how it was
    40        recyclable because here they were doing this pilot scheme,
    41        so it was a kind of double deception, in fact, deceiving a
    42        statutory body.  (Pause)
    43
    44        I think the Advertising Standards Authority documents were
    45        in the packaging documents in general.  They may have been
    46        behind also - I forget his name now - the witness we had on
    47        pigs who never got called - Andrew Tyler.
    48
    49        Then we have page 66, line 42 ----
    50
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is that the Manchester have produced nothing
    52        yet?
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:   Yes, he kind of blamed the customers.  There was a
    55        debate about whether he was blaming them or not blaming
    56        them.
    57
    58        Sorry, the Advertising Standards Authority document could
    59        be original list of documents number 45.  I am not sure if
    60        that had the full documentation, though.
