something can be legal or illegal within an oranization and if such a claim is made, like "we ban such as substance" etc then it is a legal statement at the very least for the inner workings of that company.

The rules defining what is 'legal' and 'illegal' for that specific company would have no bearing on what should or shouldn't be 'legal' for any other company, government, or other institution. In other words, saying *lie detector tests should never be used in a legal case* is meaningless in both contexts. On the one hand we're talking about any of an infinite number of legal contexts, each different from the next. On the other hand, we're talking about the traditional context, which clearly doesn't apply to the commission hearings.
