I know that is true about problems taking an external legal adviser into the meeting, I know of a case where a manager in ntl was suspended with full pay whilst they were investigationg his case following a complaint from a junior manager about him. the company kept messing the suspended manager about by cancelling his appointment at the last moment, this happened a few times and I was told that he and his solicitor were on their way to one arranged meeting and it got cancelled. The end result was that ntl made such a big balls up that they paid the guy a claimed 6 figure sum.
The person was boasting about it because he couldn't beleive how stupid the company were by playing right into his hands.
wether the guy deserved his suspension/sacking is not for me to comment.
