     1                                                5th December 1994.

     3   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, before we begin, I did promise that over
     4        the weekend we would make an attempt to see if there were
     5        any relevant documents in relation to the question of the
     6        recycled content of the various items in McDonald's files.
     7        There are not; the only three which were ever found in
     8        McDonald's files are already disclosed.  They are at tabs
     9        25, 26 and 27 of the pink volume V.
    10
    11        However, what we also did was to ask Perseco Europe to have
    12        a look in their files.  They have come up with two tables
    13         --  some other documents of perhaps less interest -- from
    14        1991 or 1992, although made at the time, showing what the
    15        recycled content was.  I will, when Mr. Van Erp gives
    16        evidence, ask him to explain them but it is only right that
    17        I disclose them now.
    18
    19        Can I suggest, my Lord, they be put behind Mr. Van Erp's
    20        statement which, if your Lordship has not already done so,
    21        might I suggest it is moved from its present position which
    22        is in volume yellow XII?
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have left it with your Civil Evidence Act.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes.  Since he is coming to court tomorrow, he
    27        should really be moved to volume III, tab 9.  I have given
    28        your Lordship the divider.  Those are the Perseco
    29        documents.  The only remaining thing is -----
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will insert it later.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  It may be Mr. Oakley knows something about these
    34        documents, it may be he does not.  I mean, the Defendants
    35        are welcome to ask him.  I do not mean it should be
    36        restricted to Mr. Van Erp.  The only other thing I should
    37        add is I understand that Mr. Oakley has an explanation for
    38        the reason why his statement has 100 per cent whereas the
    39        public documents say 80 per cent, but that is
    40        something  -----
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will see whether Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris
    43        want to take that any further.  You can raise it in
    44        re-examination, if you want to.
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  Exactly.
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:  I notice that these were faxed to the Plaintiffs on
    49        Friday night; as we have only just got them we would like a
    50        quarter of an hour adjournment to look through them before 
    51        we continue the cross-examination of Mr. Oakley. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I will come back at 10 to 11.
    54
    55                            (Short Adjournment)
    56
    57                         MR. OAKLEY, Continued.
    58              Cross-examined by the Defendants, Continued.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  Just before we go on to the documents and other
