Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

The value of the chief executive's continuation in the excellent performance of his duties was balanced against the possible risks of getting into a conflict with him, or a situation involving constructive dismissal which was a big risk about which I had been warned, and it was decided in the end to go with the package, expensive though it was. It must be remembered that when one buys somebody out of employment, the package will always be related to salary. If one has a high salary, one will have a high settlement. The other side is if one has a high settlement and value, one will have very high savings.
