Day 165 - 27 Sep 95 - Page 30
1 the following morning, Mr. Rampton said that, in effect, it
2 was not worth the hassle and he was going to let you keep
3 it anyway.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: OK.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You said: "Well, that is because he had no
8 case to put to you", and that was the end of that, but we
9 never got to having the argument and I never got it to
10 reading the authorities.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: I do not particularly want to go through that
13 argument.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You have to decide, you see, whether you
16 are. I am not going to deal with this today. You have to
17 decide whether you are making a formal application for the
18 return of the original of this document and, if you are,
19 you have to tell me about it, you have to tell Barlows
20 about it, the authorities have to be produced, there may
21 have to be evidence. If you fail in that, it stays where
22 it is. If you succeed in that so that the original is
23 returned, I take any photocopy of it out of the bundle.
24
25 MR. MORRIS: OK. That seems to be that. While we are on Costa
26 Rica -- always an intriguing subject -- we have a Civil
27 Evidence Act Notice placed upon the interview with Sergio
28 Contana. I do not know if I highlighted the bits -- is
29 there a highlighted section?
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I would like you to tell me where
32 I should put that?
33
34 MR. MORRIS: In our Civil Evidence Act Notices, it could go in
35 two places; either in our Civil Evidence Act Notices,
36 General Environmental section, or behind Peter Heller's
37 statement.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think it should go in your Civil Evidence
40 Act Notices, Destruction of the Environment.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: OK.
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I think it should become volume 1C,
45 section L, No. 7.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I finish with Siegfried Pater at No. 5 there.
48
49 MR. RAMPTON: Your Lordship should have something from somebody
50 called France Wurtz.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, that is right, I remember that. That is
53 6.
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: So this piece of transcript becomes 7. Although I
56 do not think I am obliged to mention it at this stage -- in
57 fact, I know that I am not -- I do observe, in case the
58 Defendants should feel prompted to do anything about it,
59 that this piece of transcript might be -- I do not say is
60 -- incomplete, but I do not know. It is difficult to tell
