True story. If you know the answer, please don't reply.
An NCT inspector was going to fail a car. The customer said that his wife was in hospital with cancer, so he needed the car to visit her in hospital.
What would you do if you were the NCT inspector?
Next question. You are the Management of the NCT, and this is brought to your attention. How would you deal with the Inspector?
OK, so the Inspector actually passed the car and gave the customer a list of jobs to be fixed.

OK, so they went through the disciplinary proceedings and they fired him.
He appealed to the Employment Appeals Tribunal.
How did they rule?
Had the Inspector failed the car and pointed out the problem areas the customer could still have driven away and had the use of his car until the retest. I fail to see why the Inspector had to pass the customer in the first place.
Yes, also in my experience, you don't interact with the Inspector until he presents you with the test result, printed out from their system, so I'd like to understand the sequence of events in this case.
For example did the Inspector change the result in the system and print it out again? Or did the owner hang around the car and talk to the Inspector as he was taking it to be tested?
