zuke As long as you sought legal advice and the individual is independant and compentant you have satisied your requirements.
HenryQ But is the legal advisor is independent here though?!
ZERGEN I think 1 should mention written confirmation citing applicable lwas, rules and regulations instead
dblueroom good call HenryQ, but A looks better compared to other choices.
