Sub-series is records of three cases that Macdonald considered special, and records of other issues that concerned him. The first special case was Thames Power (under Canadian Utilities) which had raised gas prices by 35% and affected the future of many electricity projects. During September 1989 to November 1990, Macdonald assisted Thames Power obtain conditions and terms with British Gas. In the second special case, he assisted a Canadian citizen who was trying to win custody of her child. The British court requested Macdonald to attend and to share his expertise in interpreting Canadian law. The third special case was the Pulp and Paper Industry. During October 1989 to July 1991, Macdonald actively opposed quotas on Canadian news print sold to European publishers, supported their campaign to have the European tariff removed from Canadian newsprint, and sought resolution of the pinewood nematode (worm) problem.

Of the other issues, the two most significant were Northern Ireland and Canadian Studies. Macdonald visited Northern Ireland to assess prospects for enhanced economic relations with Canada. Macdonald also promoted establishment of Canadian Studies programmes in Europe. Two other issue were the Canadian Bar Association Meetings of 22-27 September 1990, and a monthly High Commissioner magazine.
