He identified the issues in dispute quite closely and he wasn't a passive mediator, he wasn't afraid to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in, which meant querying people's positions on matters, dealing with some of the more complex legal points and testing out positions. He wasn't a mediator in the style of someone who just turns up, does the mediation and goes away. There was quite a lot of interaction with the parties prior to the mediation, and also thereafter. It was quite essential to have someone who was aware of the legal principles behind that sort of situation [directors' and employees' duties].
