Howard,
Now I don't know about British law and I'm no attorney so take it
with a truck load of salt, but US law does make a distinction between
malicious and non-malicious hacking. Meaning that it's illegal to hack
a system to gain improper access but OK if it's has a proper business
purpose. In the case here I believe it would be looked upon as OK since
it's an internal person trying to do their specified job that's doing
the hacking because they have no recourse.

is good for evidence. So lets be careful out there guys.
