[2024] UKUT 240 (AAC)

Mr Bowers told the panel that Mr Noon had been removed as transport manager following the hacking. However, on 5 October 2023 he had emailed Mr Leech of the OTC categorically stating that it was Mr Noon who had removed himself as Transport Manager. He was unable to offer the panel any explanation of why, on the basis of what he was now telling the panel, he had told the OTC something that was plainly untrue. The following day the Upper Tribunal received an email from Mr Bowers stating:

“In my email to Mr. Andy Booth [in fact, Mr Leech], I accidently misinterpreted the sentence where I stated the following:

"When Mr [Noon] accidently removed himself as Transport Manager - He straight away tried to reinstate himself" I meant the following "Mr Noon, realised he had been removed and tried to reinstate himself".
