It's ridiculous. He was going to get the sack whether he fronted the board or not so he hasn't lost any money. I wish I could be a judge for a week.

There was talk of him being on his last chance prior to this incident. If he was, then any dirty laundry can now be aired to the court.

Is it to simple a view..To think this whole legal furore could have been avoided... If he was allowed to come in talked crap for 5min say he was sorry won't do it again yada yada, walked out then we sacked him 10 min later...

Apparently so, although his management said he was never offered breach notices for anything prior.
Seriously give carney a 3 mil payout he will be found dead from a coke binge within a week

Whether he gave up his privacy as you say is a matter of law. I don't know whether he did legally or not as I'm not a lawyer. I personally feel his privacy was violated in a terrible way, others don't. I'm interested to know.

The legal position on whether or not we had the right to sack him over what was the final straw was what needed to be checked with lawyers before sacking him. I don't think being sacked without due process is the only problem.

I don't think his privacy being violated is relevant to his case. The Sharks certainly didn't violate his privacy. His case seems to be based on whether or not we followed due process in getting rid. His mate put the photo out there in the public domain. We could hardly ignore it. We should've hauled him in to discuss it with him before sacking him though.

He definitely should have been hauled in, absolutely no question. Whilst it wasn't us who violated his privacy we made use of that violation. On the other hand as you say "We can hardly ignore it". Presumably we can argue regardless he brought the club into disrepute.
It is hard to imagine him walking off with anything near 3 million if the violation of due process would have made no difference. It is amazing how popping your wang out in a public toilet can become so complicated.

We had no choice but to use the self inflicted privacy "violation'' as every Tom, Dick (excuse the pun) and Harry had seen the photo and with all the media attention regarding it and the ASADA stuff at the time, we had to take action. They just should've slowed down a tad.
As for the 3 mill, well, he hasn't got his hands on it yet. That's just what they want.

Well I hope the club gets to reveal all his indiscretions while at the club. Carney is always the victim, I actually have genuine concern for him when he finishes playing his liver will give up

Right I'm going to the bathroom here and pissing in my mouth and will grab a colleague to take a pic. Let's see where it gets me.

As I recall the club attempted to Contact Todd multiple times after the incident went public but Todd ignored calls/didn't call back which sounds like him burying his head in the sand
By the sounds of things he did have that chance to front the club/board but didn't take it and the club couldn't sit on it's hands indefinitely if the bloke won't even bother to show up and explain himself
Maybe due process still wasn't followed I dunno but Todd's reaction to the whole saga hardly helped his own case

Didn't Noyce call him to ask him what he thinks should happen?
Where's the requirement to front the board? Is that supposed to be in the contract?
The CEO should have the authority from the board to sack the ****, unless it is specifically stated in the contract. I'm not sure many other employees in any other situation would front the board. It wouldn't happen at BHP or the like.

He doesn't now, but he did when the picture was taken by his "mates" and that's his problem.
Our only error is how quickly we sacked him, so we should only have to pay him (let's say) 4 weeks pay for the period classified as "Due process".
We didn't humiliate him (he and his mates did that) so if he wants the difference of 4 weeks and $3m, then he goes after his "mates" for the difference.
