Exactly..............the person is aware of the letter as one had gone to the actual company who they were employed by and was made aware of it and has also been made aware of one being sent here and knows the identity of the anonymous writer. I would imagine that if the letter was anonymous we would not have been able to inform the individual that their letter may be disclosed but if details such as this were being said about myself, I am b*oody sure that I would not only want a record made of the fact that it was totally untrue and had been investigated or even all record being deleted. Just goes to show - moral of this story - don't fall out with your partners/even neighbours!!!!

***** This email was received from the INTERNET *****
One has to look, here at several aspects. I am going to play devil's
advocate, since it is Friday.
When the person lodged the complaint were they made aware that their letter
of complaint might be passed in whole or in part to the person complained
of, and if so under what circumstances? I do know that by removing their
perosnal details it might be argued that the data passed was insufficient to
identify a loving individual, but one might also argue that, even with
identity expunged, the content of the letter might of itself identify the
writer! Now the person complained of is a third party, so passing that data
to the third party might well be inappropriate for solely that reason.
Let us assume you choose not to disclose. Who is being protected by non
disclosure and why is that protection warranted, and what are they being
protected against? Is there a fisticuff likely to take place? In which
case, ignoring who is in the right totally, is it lawful to disclose
"knowing" that a fisticuff might well ensue?
I think I might take the entire 40 days to disclose it, you know. And bring
forward whatever hearing is to happen to be in that timeframe too.
Or, more reasonably, I would delegate this to my lawyer.
