Dear DO Smith,

Discipline Case – Ff M Hyde

I enclose the documents to which the defence may rely for the hearing scheduled for 7th June 1999.

I apologise for the late delivery of your copy, which was unavoidable. Indeed, I have only been given 6 days notice. In fact the need to service you which these documents has inevitably led to me having to cancel my holiday arrangements this week and over the weekend.

As ACFO Seager said, through Mrs Campbell, this case will proceed on 7th June 1999 whatever and without the normal statutory notification if necessary.

I look forward to seeing you on Monday. In the meantime I will produce a further bundle for the presiding officer and the witness stand. If you have any further questions please do not hestitate to contact me.

Finally the FBU Brigade Committee have asked FF I Townes if he can attend to compile a verbatim record of the proceedings. I assume that unless notified that you have no objections to your own and others words being recorded in this way.

Yours faithfully


A Wigglesworth BSc, MBA, G.I.Fire.E.
