   ...and he appeared to have a clear recollection of the meeting. [45] On the particular issue of whether copies of the written statements made by Mr Fisher and Mr Columb were provided at the meeting, it is also far more consistent with logic and human nature that they were. Mr Foster had gone to the trouble of having the two men prepare the statements and sign them prior to the meeting.

   ...and, by implication, that future similar situations will be dealt with differently. I accept this to be a responsible and genuine reaction by the company to the findings made against it.

Mr Kelsey then responded with the letter of the same date to which I have already referred.
