Points of Interest Doc 199

‘His original sickness was, according to him at the time, a result of the stress caused by being investigated in connection with a disciplinary offence.’

Not quite correct. The cause of illness was entirely the personal behaviour of Divisional Officer Colin Hodge.

‘He went sick on Friday 7th at approximately 1230 hrs (Colin Hodge will have noted the exact time). He had just been served with a section 7 letter, which he refused to accept and had “walked out” of the office.’

Bearing in mind the time is purported to have been written in Colin Hodge’s book at the event, and counter signed by ADO Paul Hayden the “will have noted” seems a little vague and an edge both ways. But then again maybe the notebook of Colin Hodge is not as contemporaneous as claimed?

As for the reporting of the event/incident by ADO Hayden, he seems to have forgotten it was a case of one party requesting trade union representation as agreed at corporate level, and the other party refusing!

‘Hope this helps, but if you need any more, please give me a call.’

Hmm an overt acknowledgement that the product requested can be adjusted and made to measure.
