Raquel Rosairo Sanchez still has legal fees to pay

Just saw this on a FB post - Raquel's crowd funder is still open and she has a long way to go to reach her stretch target.

Her case has been heard and the abuse, bullying and harassment that she as a doctoral student new to the UK was subjected to was horrendous.

Not as high profile as other legal cases, but nevertheless important for all of us.

This thread reminded me, so thank you, and done. Flowers.

Dear women,
Thank you for this post. The legal fees remain, and the problem is that unless the public can help me, I would have to start paying out of pocket soon. This represents a significant issue for me because over the course of these past four years (all the ins and outs and the setbacks at every single stage), I have lost all my personal savings.

If you can help, that would be great. But if you're not in a position to contribute, sharing with sympathetic friends is just as important because they could help.

Other than this funding concern (and still pending PhD and immigration issues), I am alright, just trying to stay positive and grounded while in the centre of the storm.

Always grateful for your support and all the kindness Mumsnet has showed me throughout.

No decision yet. This is RRS's update:

As you know, we were in court from February 7th-14th, 2022. At the end of the trial, the judge informed us that he will aim to have his judgement ready within the next three months, but that at that point, if he needed more time he could request an extension.

We have received no news from the Court yet. Many people have been asking me, so I imagine lots of you will want to know the outcome of our legal case against the University of Bristol. I really want to know too, but I'm not worried, or stressed or anxious about it. The outcome will be ready, when it is ready. And if the judge needs extra time, then that is perfectly understandable. The last two months on this litigation (December and January) where thoroughly horrible for me, due to the conduct of the Defendant and their insistence on making this process as difficult as possible for me. So all my sleepless nights (and there were a lot) were before the trial, and now I feel at peace that my legal team and I worked very hard to ensure we presented our case as best as we could.

The stretch fundraiser is to cover costs incurred so far.

Have we heard the outcome of this case yet?

SwimmingCait · 24/03/2022 16:36

Added a small spadeful and will add another on payday next week.

Carrots planted. This is such an important case - I don't want my children going to a university that treats its members like she has been treated. Bristol Uni should be hanging its head in shame, not only for the initial bullying, but for their shitty behaviour in this litigation. I hope the book is thrown at them and Raquel recovers her costs. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm glad that someone drew it to my attention.

I sort of thought that Raquel had reached her target as other cases were so quickly, but she hasn't.
