Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

Although they were not giving official legal advice, the board has two lawyers, a former governor of the Central Bank, very prominent business people and others with a great level of experience. All of them asserted, in my understanding, that the position was very clear. It does not take much expertise to discover that if somebody is employed for 37 years and if the performance has been exemplary, with no query about the way in which he or she has done a duty, that person would have the right to continue in that employment, or if it is required that he or she leaves, the person should get an appropriate agreed settlement. I agree it is a shocking amount of money.
