Dear Brian Miller

We have contacted the individual in question, even though we will not confirm the name due to defamation issues, and here is the response:

1. After several arguments with you while in your employ he knows that your allegations are untrue and merely a malicious response to those arguments and an attempt to avoid paying outstanding wages;
2. After you accused him of making inappropriate remarks, without any evidence at all, you began to pontificate about dismissing him in various offensively worded emails;
3. When you disovered that your stance on dismissal would result in the necessity to pay more money you attempted to avoid this by then saying you didn't dismiss him.

We have seen your emails and in our opinion there is no doubt that you did dismiss him without providing any evidence of cause - and the conclusion reached by the Labour Department is probably a result of the Japanese system rather than any general logic. The Labour Dept is also an initial process which must be exhausted before action in the Summary Court may be taken. Indeed we have been shown an email from a solicitor in Kobe who called the Labour Departments decision 'strange', and your emails 'clear statement of intention'.

As we have full access to all the emails in your comunications with him (and various other complainants) we must state CLEARLY that your behaviour appears have been malicious and unlawful throughout with the clear aim of avoiding paying the money legally owed to your employee(s).

It would seem that the person you refer to is now going to take you to court for unlawful dismissal and make enquiries with regards to defamation on the grounds of your completely fabricated accusations. We are of the opinion that this behavior is that of a wrongly accused person. He is also a qualified UK teacher, a holder of an MA in Education and a published author on gender equality in schools.

As you are currently the subject of a criminal investigation we would request that you now discontinue posting in this thread and that you take this matter up directly with your former employees - which it seems will become unavoidable in the near future.
