The complainant appealed against an adjudication by Commissioner Gilfillan. Commissioner 
Gilfillan came to the conclusion that cause 38 of the Code was not contravened when the presenter did not question a statement by a caller describing the complainant as a paedophile. The Tribunal held that by re-opening the subject with the caller, the matter could have developed into a worsening of the situation. Accordingly, that by not getting into a debate with the caller, the presenter contained the matter in a reasonable manner and excluded further discussion on the accusation. The Broadcasting Code was not contravened and the complaint is, accordingly, not upheld.
