From TT
J (Big Sond) Like to explain to remote observers we have discovered changing layout doesn't work. Most important is for witness to be comfortable for giving evidence and for us to see and hear.
Fifer : Did ah no tell ye that thon judge wasnae changing the layoot. Nae doobt!
NC Back to Jan. Did ED tell you it had been established no risk of SP and DU being together
GM Don't recall. Not my decision to suspend her
NC In email ED says been no change. Angie Shepherd wants to tell SP
[missed sound v bad ]
NC Email you to Melanie Jorgensen. Ask to review suspension. A misspeak?
J Seems so
NC Was intention that Lottie Miles would conduct genuine process
GM Lottie was taking over this case and do the four-week suspension review.
NC No notes
GM no
There is a very brief flash of pity in NC's eyes as she reaches into her TARDIS case for another Anvil. She shakes her head imperceptibly. Why keep fighting this? I have a portal to the Anvil Dimension. It's not going to stop until I stop it.
NC No email confirming agreed?
GM No. we only work two doors away [missed]
NC [to doc]
GM reading
NC That was background. MG had written protesting suspension.
GM Not my understanding. Policy was that suspension reviewed.
NC This letter didn't cause review
GM Not seen letter before. It's part of policy to review suspensions.
Anvil drops. Too easy. Didn't even read their own discovery submissions. NC seems almost sad.
Another Anvil appears in her palm instantly. Not even a transporter flash. This one was Displaced using technology far beyond mere Star Trek.
NC [to doc] Letter from Margaret Gribbon [MG], forwarded from Angie Shepherd's inbox. Exchange with Adam Watson. You said just now you hadn't seen this letter...
GM AS's PA Sent it on and I immediately forwarded it
NC We can see was legal advice as result of that letter
NC (cont) MJ email Feb to you - anything further on this suspension being lifted? Looks as though decision taken that suspension to be lifted. You are saying that MJ means anything further on suspension being lifted means another more on suspension.
NC (cont) Your email to Lottie Miles was to tell her suspension was to be lifted
GM Don't agree
CLANG
Anvil 2 hits the floor.
Anvil 3 shimmers into existence before the echo fades
NC That decision to lift suspension was cos MG was objecting to suspension on no proper grounds.
GM [missed]
NC Friday 8 March you to MJ - further risk assessment supported returning to workplace on different shift pattern.
NC But had been established by end Dec no overlap between DU/SP shifts. Always poss to keep them apart?
GM DOn't recall
NC SP assures will be professional. You don't suggest she would have failed to give you that assurance
GM This asks Sandie if she can do that
Fifer : haud on noo. Yer asking wee Sondie, cool as a cucumber, runs the floor like clockwork, all five fit twa of her, wi thirty year of experience, if she can be professional? Sake, min. Gie yersel peace.
