Misuse of spouse pass

[Man in the middle]

Quote

Any person found guilty of improperly using, transferring or causing to be transferred a free travel document, or attempting to do so, will be liable to prosecution, withdrawal of facilities and possible dismissal”

 

But, assuming he was entitled to give the pass to you, your partner did none of those things. He did not improperly use it, transfer it or cause it to be transferred. More than that, it  says that "...any person found guilty of [those actions] ...will be liable to prosecution". How is it established he was guilty of it unless he was prosecuted? Does the company run its own courts?

 

You may well have been guilty of misusing the pass (though that will depend on its terms and conditions). But provided your partner was entitled to give the pass to you, he is guilty of nothing. He cannot be expected to police the use of a pass he was entitled to pass on to you, another adult. He needs to get somebody to look at the legality of his dismissal.

I find both those ideas ridiculous. What is it they suggest he does (whilst he's on duty working for the railway, that is)? Follow his spouse around to check the pass isn't being misused. I couldn't see that standing up to proper scrutiny.
