Day 250 - 15 May 96 - Page 04

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  Just in case we refer to anything.
     2
     3   MS. STEEL:   I am not intending to at this stage.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL: No.  Yes?
     6
     7   MS. STEEL:   If we could get out the counterclaim bundle, I will
     8        just check, No. 2.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Which do you want?
    11
    12   MS. STEEL:   Bundle No. 2, counterclaim 2.  The one with the
    13        pink and white label?
    14        A.  Yes.
    15
    16   Q.   Incidentally, while we have the counterclaim bundles out,
    17        I have a note of various pages which are blanked out, parts
    18        blanked out, and whole pages which are blanked out which go
    19        through the publication and counterclaim bundles, and I am
    20        sure I know what the response is going to be but we want to
         formally apply just so that is all covered.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are not to be deterred from implying by
    24        any previous decision, because I have to approach each
    25        application on its own merits.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:   Well, the...
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It may be the same decision, it may be not.
    30        I think what you have to do, if you want to do a number of
    31        them together, is make a list of them in advance and then
    32        I will look at them overnight some time, because I will
    33        have to refamiliarise myself with the documents in
    34        question.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:   OK.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Tell me what it is which you say should lead
    39        me to suppose there is something relevant there, or what it
    40        is you say which means that the blanking out makes it
         difficult to understand the parts which are left in.
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:   Right.
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I too, may I say this, would need notice
    46        because I did not do these bundles myself, Mr. Atkinson
    47        did.  Obviously, he would have to respond.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is not, very sensibly, always here.
    50 
    51   MR. RAMPTON:  No, no.  So I would have to refer to him to find 
    52        out in relation to any particular document what the reason 
    53        was.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   OK.  I will do that at some stage.  If we could
    58        turn to tab 89 there is a fax that has been sent to you?
    59        A.  Yes.
