Allison Bailey

Allison's case is due to be heard later this month and given the delays and attempts to have the case struck out, as well as the addition of direct discrimination based on GC beliefs to the case, costs have mounted.

The case is scheduled to run for 20 days (5 to 10 days being the norm).

Ben Cooper QC is representing Allison.

I'm off to plant some more flowers to really catch the sunlight that no doubt will be shining during the 20 days of her case. I thought I had enough, but more are needed because of the extension, unfortunately, which has left a bit of a bare patch!

Thank you!

There's this one, ThinkWittyThoughts:

I'm not very good at Twitter. Is there a thread here that I can catch up with & keep up with?

ChiefDogsbody · 27/04/2022 12:19

Allison has seemingly been in hospital overnight- hope she's ok!

Roseglen84 · 27/04/2022 09:34

Allison's crowdfunder is at 90% now Grin - amazing!!

There will be a decision on a document that AB's team wanted included today?

mobile.twitter.com/tribunaltweets/status/1518519749201870848

BC: we disclosed a document - see claimant witness statement - material which we say shows pattern of SW employees threatening women who make public statements disagreeing with them
BC: goes to show SW general modus operandi - we submit this is relevant. Context is that an individual in SW with a role relevant to these proceedings liasing between SW trans group and employers

Further down the thread I think it's today. And would need further disclosure from SW if judge agrees.

ChiefDogsbody · 27/04/2022 07:05

Lovely morning for digging! I wonder what we will see today? Is anyone following the case?

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 23/04/2022 16:56

I supported women’s sport today. Will dig for Allison next week.

Handyweatherstation · 23/04/2022 16:34

More gardening needs doing, so just put a few more bulbs in.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 06/04/2022 16:37

But I have to say the prospect of Ben Cooper cross-examining 30 Stonewalled idiots is just fing glorious. Is Nancy Kelly one of them?*

We will need access to the bundle so that we can follow along and have a nosey at the witnesses who will be called.

ThinkWittyThoughts · 06/04/2022 16:33

But I have to say the prospect of Ben Cooper cross-examining 30 Stonewalled idiots is just f-ing glorious*

YES! Grin

LiesDoNotBecomeUs · 06/04/2022 15:40

How is the fund-raising going?

Absurdle · 06/04/2022 15:20

I saw that Stonewall and the gang have called about 30 witnesses; does anyone know who they are?

I saw a post (possibly from Legal Feminist?) about Maya's tribunal, pointing out that calling loads of witnesses is often not a good idea. Because every single witness is an opportunity for your case to self-destruct if they say the wrong thing.

I assume the primary motive in this case for having so many witnesses is to drive up costs for Allison, which is some evil bullshit. But I have to say the prospect of Ben Cooper cross-examining 30 Stonewalled idiots is just f*ing glorious. Is Nancy Kelly one of them?

Jux · 06/04/2022 15:12

I can't immediately, but as soon as I can I'll be doing more gardening.

Justanotherobserver · 06/04/2022 08:49

Just having a quick dust.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 05/04/2022 10:24

Do we need to wait for the first day of the tribunal to know about online access for the public?

I'm wondering about transcriptions/tweets. Maybe we could ask Stonewall and Garden Court Chambers if they'd like to chip in.

Pudmyboy · 04/04/2022 22:22

Did a bit of digging via the Daley Thompson thread, lots of gardeners about!

NeedToKnow101 · 04/04/2022 15:29

Done

LiesDoNotBecomeUs · 04/04/2022 13:11

The best thing to do with bullshit is to dig it deep and plant it with flowers in suffragette-colours.

We could have quite a show -all along the stone wall.

McDuffy · 04/04/2022 12:52

Is there a way of seeing the total tick up once you've donated? It's a hobby of mine Blush

MiniatureHotdog · 04/04/2022 12:01

I popped out in the garden the other day,, so much lovely sunlight lately.

Just spotted this thread so keeping it bumped to remind others who have any spare bulbs to get them planted 😊

WearyLady · 04/04/2022 11:53

Just added a bit of manure to help things along.

Turningpurple · 04/04/2022 11:47

I have no clue who they are. But did see twitter mention Daly Thompson was gardening. Obviously unverified gardening.

Rhannion · 04/04/2022 11:43

I’m wondering if one of the donations has come from a Scottish man who owns a lot of gyms? He rightly said no to mixed sex changing rooms.

HellonHeels · 04/04/2022 10:48

Done a little scatter of wildflower seeds this morning.
