1 location to that of the sawmill.

3 Q. So some will be transferred to the panel making and some
4 will be transferred to the pulp making?
5 A. That is correct.
6
7 Q. That is the point when it becomes what they call "post
8 industrial waste", is it?
9 A. It could be described as -- but it is still industrial.
10
11 Q. Yes, but what I am saying is that could be categorised as
12 recycled ---
13 A. It could, yes.
14
15 Q. -- material?
16 A. And this is one of the things where it depends how that
17 calculation is done. I think what would be said by a panel
18 maker who is making particle board or chipboard or is
19 making medium density fibre board, is that his raw material
20 is already something which otherwise, if his factory did
21 not exist, would be burnt or in other ways disposed of, so
22 he is actually a contributor to recycling. However, I am
23 not sure that is relevant to this particular point because
24 in our calculations here we have excluded recycling in the
25 context we are talking about virgin fibre.

27 MR. MORRIS: I do not know whether that might be a suitable time
28 to finish tonight?
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Has an arrangement been made for
31 Mr. Mallinson to come back on Wednesday?
32
33 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, my Lord, it has.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: When we do start on Thursday, I would urge
36 you to bear in mind what I said earlier in the day.
37 I cannot see it doing you any harm at the end of the day
38 (and it will help you as well as me) if what we basically
39 have is material which goes to the issues, the important
40 issues, so our minds are not clouded with lots of other
41 information which may be interesting but is not going to
42 affect the resolution of the case one way or the other at
43 the end of the day.
44
45 So, if you would be kind enough to concentrate on going
46 through, perhaps, the questions you have clearly written
47 out to help yourself in your cross-examination and topics
48 and decide which really are essential and which are not.
49
50 We will resume at 10.30 tomorrow morning with amendments to
51 the Statement of Claim and as many other of the procedural
52 matters as we can hear argument on.
