   This report has been amended to reflect a recent High Court judgment. This judgment upheld the inquiry’s finding of financial mismanagement, which was based on “ample evidence”, and rejected “by a wide margin” allegations the Commission predetermined the outcome of the inquiry. The Commission accepts the finding that it made important errors in relation to two detailed aspects of the report, and has amended three paragraphs, and removed a fourth, to reflect these findings.
