“The Tribunal had no evidence in front of it that the agents' communication with the First Respondent was deficient in any way.”
“It would be unfair to determine that the charges were not payable when the First Respondent had had more than enough time to set out her case earlier but had not done so.”
“The Tribunal had no evidence in front of it that the agents' communication with the First Respondent was deficient in any way.”
