You surely don't need me to tell how you how dangerous such a precedent that would have set?
My argument is not that he be ‘let off’. All I am saying, if anyone is actually listening, is that a right of appeal should be in place.

All this does is review the decision in the light of all the evidence. If the committee got it wrong, this would be an opportunity to put it right.

If the committee was correct in its judgement, the decision would stand.
