                                                                                                                 CASE REF: 318/16

 

 

 

CLAIMANT:              David Samuel Graham

 

           

RESPONDENT:      Robert Raymond Cunningham

 

 

Certificate of Correction

 

 

The Decision issued on 4 March 2016, included the following sentence: “The respondent was debarred from participating in the hearing because the respondent did not present a response within the relevant time-limit.” That sentence is inaccurate. (The respondent did present a timely response; he was not debarred from participating; and he did participate).

 

The following is substituted in place of that inaccurate sentence:

 

      “The respondent was self-represented”.
