Maybe, but by having everything in writing and requesting confirmation of your summary (which is a common practice), he is given the choice of responding in writing. If he chooses not to respond, then he has accepted your summary as being correct. You can also photocopy and include the notes that you take on the day, perhaps even ask him to sign those notes at the completion of the meeting. You need to have things in writing. Liliana I will now only discuss things with him in writing. This is what I have suggested. Perhaps seek the advice of others as to the best way to construct the letter. It must be seen as non aggressive and beneficial to both parties. Also request that he forwards you his own summary but if he doesn't, then it's no great issue. You cannot be fairer or more reasonable than that. The last thing you want to do is ambush him with a video camera. You have to be seen to be fair and reasonable. If on the other hand you do not intend talking to him while he is on site, then him bringing his wife along should not be an issue nor should you require your own witness. The problem here is that if he is not putting anything in writing and you are not talking to him, then you have reached dead lock. 3in1 Supadiverta.
