that what she wanted was to work for Halcyon from home on full pay. It is, perhaps, unsurprising that Mrs. Baines asked her mother whether her mother was seeking to force her out of Halcyon, given Mrs. Low's behaviour which I have recorded and the fact that actually Mrs. Low did want to force her out, hence the contact with ACAS.
In that context it is appropriate to consider the "NOTES TUESDAY 30TH MARCH CB" which meta-data indicated had been prepared by Mrs. Low at 11.50 hours on 2 April 2010, in other words soon after the notes dated 25 March 2010 had been typed:-
"C WANTED TO KNOW WHAT MY PLANS WERE AND WAS I TRYING TO FORCE HER OUT.
