Mr Foster had gone to the trouble of having the two men prepare the statements and sign them prior to the meeting.

   ...complaint being upheld without necessarily imposing a sanction. It follows that it is not necessary to find that a disciplinary sanction should be imposed to uphold a complaint. It is important to recognise that not every lapse or manifestation of human frailty should result in an adverse professional disciplinary finding. There will be occasions when advisers are responsible for a lapse from acceptable standards, but that still does not justify upholding a disciplinary complaint. [...
