She has just tweeted that she is appealing the decision to dismiss her claim against Stonewall in her recent case.

No news on if a garden is needed to be seeded though!

High handed? High and mighty, use their piss for perfume.

Oops!

(Thanks, Gran!)

@cgdev has been ordered to pay over £100k in compensation for loss of earnings, injury to feelings and aggravated damages for their high-handed conduct.

I love this.

'High-handed conduct'.

Garden Chambers: high handed.
Maya Forstater: high five!

Finally, it’s taken ages to get the mermaids decision. I’m actually abroad on the 6th but will find a way to get online.

You can just get the app, apparently, and not have to sign up to Twitter, to still read tweets.

Normally I wouldn't want to think about anyone's piss boiling, but I'll make an exception for Owen Jones.

C'mon Alison, Cmon Bev and Kate. For Owen. And his piss, lol.

Blimey

Ameanstreakamilewide · 30/06/2023 19:37

Best of luck to Kate and Bev. 🍀

Eek!

Absolutely. The cheek. Even if they have no respect for Allison Bailey, they ought to have respect for the court.

I wonder if there was some kind of legal-world snobbery operating? Maybe since they're fearless fighters for criminal justice and human rights and all, they've got no respect for an Employment Tribunal?

Ameanstreakamilewide · 30/06/2023 17:49

I've just read Maya's recent Tweet.

'I have received the "remedy" judgement in my case.

@cgdev has been ordered to pay over £100k in compensation for loss of earnings, injury to feelings and aggravated damages for their high-handed conduct.

Thank-you to everyone who supported my case'

Sorry I got lost in this.... When are we correcting a decision?

It seems crazy that not only do you need seemingly huge amounts to get justice, even if it is found in your favour you can be hugely out of pocket.

I agree. It seems to me like it's really stacked in the employers' favour, given that they are normally a company of some description.

Maya has now got over £100k compensation, so here is hoping Allison does too.

BellaAmorosa · 30/06/2023 17:13

Do we know when the decision will come through?

I don't really want to hit GCC with extra costs but on the other hand I'd like Allison to not have to pay the 265K that isn't covered by her crowdfunder. So I hope GCC do have to pay that part.

Aren't these cases eye-wateringly expensive?

Justice just isn’t affordable to most.

I would like GCC to pay the majority of Allison’s costs. That would also help fund her appeal over Stonewall.

whilst I appreciate people saying Allison could do what she wants with any crowdfunded money left over, I would like to see it go to other court cases fighting discrimination on the same grounds. Or, LGBAlliance’s costs for their case.

I read twitter only. I don't post.

Makes for a peaceful life.

Tribunal Tweets have put the whole thing up on their website (so no need to go near Twitter):
https://tribunaltweets.substack.com/p/allison-bailey-v-garden-court-chambers

Allison Bailey reported £765,000 (approx) of costs having crowdfunded £500,000. Garden Court Chambers estimated £760,000 to defend the employment tribunal.

At a wild guess, I imagine Stonewall must have spent a few £100k so far too.

You can always sign up and just lurk. You don't even have to follow GC accounts - you can just look up GC hashtags, if you prefer (leaves no trail within your public account, if you're worried about doxing). The whole site has gone full T**F since Elon took over and it's rather wonderful. Now that people can speak freely, it's so obvious how little support the gender crazies have.

Very pleasing to hear. Maybe it's worth rejoining.
