. . . . The 'decision' as 'compiled'
by the PCC's 'Barmy Army'
Defence team.
"The failure to respond to a direct
complaint was, of course, regrettable...the
inaccuracy could have been corrected sooner"
and "genuine human error had
resulted in an oversight".
Can you just hear a Barrister putting forward a defence like that
in the High Court for some criminal or other?-
The Judge would laugh so much he would wet his knickers and the newspapers,
other than the Guardian, would laugh their socks off and turn it into
the legal joke of the decade?
