‘I find that a number of the alleged incidents are not proven, and those that are proved do not involve harassment. At most they involve treating Miss Saha in an abrupt, peremptory and at times vexed manner. They do not involve aggressive, bullying or threatening behaviour.'”

Hence the sensitivity of the data to both requester and CRU, and the passions engendered on these appeals.”
