So morning Catherine and over to you.
0:20
Good morning, everyone.
0:21
Thanks for joining us again.

So the first question is, so you've dismissed an employee for, let's say, misconduct and they've appealed.
0:31
And the question is, do you have to wait until you've held the appeal and you've made the decision in relation to that before you start recruiting for their replacement, if that's what you need to do? Well, in practice, so it's not the case that you're expected to stop operating just because an employee has raised a dispute in relation to the dismissal.
0:48
And it's not that, you know, you have a business to run or an organisation to continue operating.
0:54
So there'll be operational needs that won't disappear and work obviously has to continue.

I think I've probably said enough and I'm going to pass it back to Catherine who's going to deal with the last question.
