Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

They should be respected unless there is a legal impediment to so doing. At all times, my understanding was that there was a legal impediment. Deputy McDonald asked whether more radical action should have been taken. If that had happened, we might have ended up going to court or costing the organisation more money in compensation. That is the problem. I agree with the Deputy.
