Just waded through everything i missed on Friday thanks must go to inky etc for posting links to tribunal twitters, and commentators.
Anyway, i think someone else on the last thread mentioned this in passing.
It is looking to me like DU may have been egged on with all this nonsense by seniors (those who gave him the swipe card to the female changing rooms) and it is they who picked up the complaint, which appears was reframed in the second investigation.
It seems to me if i am reading things correctly that the only way out for DU is to blame the higher uppers for something that snowballed “beyond his control”
After all when at the hearing asked to describe the Xmas incident in the changing rooms he said that SP mentioned female prisoners, nothing else.
And asked to recount patient safety issues he was vague and waffling, nothing concrete that could be deemed to be malpractice.
So for DU he may try and throw NHS under the bus and visa versa.
Which would leave the KC representing them in the shit.
The IMO important thing i would like to add is that when NC demanded that the original disclosure order must be enforced (of e mails etc) she said it was crucial for both sides as the truth could have consequences to the careers of either DU or SP.
I think this was a shot over the bow, she was telling DU tell the truth mate on Monday or your career is fucked.
So he is going to have to say he was a mere pawn, in a political game.
it is open to SP to make a complaint for professional misconduct should she at the very least secure a ruling that disbelieves DU.
I really would not fancy my chances at a game of chess with NC she is swift beyond worship.
