You have a valid point Gaunty and no doubt if these current allegations against NJS are true your observations may well be tested in court. The problem will not lie so much in the area you have outlined but more likely whether a due and just process was adopted by the company in carrying out its actions. Unfortunately there has been a culture of "side step and deny" in such matters in the past. Once they start painting the dance floor the record will show that they often end up in the corner somehwere. It's not a particularly transparent management team.
