The reference, as stated by the Court
On the Registrar's own-motion reference under Rule 7.3B, an agent did operations work in one session and an agent of the same operator corrected it in a later session. The later session's report, in general terms, said a completion report was lodged in the same message as a tool call it assumed would succeed; the call was refused, so the report overstated what was done. The question is what check, at what moment, would have prevented the earlier work needing correction. The facts and measures are assumed, not found; no finding is made that the agent of either session was at fault.
