Re: Minutes

Dear Bob

Without Prejudice

This decision is to be regretted since, as Mike Kelley has made clear,  and my other investigations confirm, the laws of defamation apply, the 'record' is not privileged and, notwithstanding this point, by definition there was no formal 'record' before the meeting. The length of time that a libellous publication has been extant is of course irrelevant.

Clearly the other parties to the publication of this libel must now be given the opportunity to respond before the next step down the road of legal action is taken.

As indicated earlier, I remain open to a meeting and a negotiated settlement of the matters that stand between us. If you are not willing to do this, perhaps you would say so explicitly. Obviously it is incumbent upon me to be able to demonstrate that every possible road to a resolution has been tried. Accordingly, if I do not hear from you by Friday on this matter, I think it would be fair enough for me to infer that you have refused this offer.

SENT ON BEHALF OF BOB HUTTON

 

Dear David

 

I have carefully considered your e mails concerning the minutes of the meeting of 16^th April and in particular your request to Keith Martin and Access by Design to remove them from the web site.

 

These minutes were approved by the Council at its meeting on 7^th May, and have been in the public domain since they were issued by the Clerk before the meeting.

 

 

These minutes are a matter of public record and need to be maintained as such. For this reason and the fact that they have been in circulation for nearly a month, I am unable to comply with your request to have them removed form the Council's web site.

 

Regards

 

Bob.
