Allison Bailey Appeal

337 replies

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!

Where is Ben going with this?

I think he's intending to show how GCC's approach to the bungled bundle resulted in great difficulties for other parties and therefore many additional hours of work and costs for Allison's legal team.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 29/06/2023 12:01

Thanks. We’re there multiple bundles or just the one for the whole case? If just one, I imagine that adds greatly to the complexity.

I think BC is saying that GCC attempted to blame Peter Daly for things taking so long but it was because he was trying to get them to sort the bundle. This increased Allison's costs

Chrysanthemum5 · 29/06/2023 12:00

@DifficultBloodyWoman the bundle was prepared by GCC so not RMW. To be fair to RMW they did help out by giving translated links which allowed people to get to the right pages in the bundle of doom.

Who was responsible for the B-word? I have a vague recollection* that it was RW but they were representing Stonewall. Were there separate Stonewall and GCC bundles?

*very vague recollection of a debate about how senior/junior RW is/was and who would normally prepare bundles and then who was ultimately responsible.

It's like Betelgeuse!

Waitwhat23 · 29/06/2023 11:48

I always find it amusing that bundle is a banned word on here. Touchy, touchy!

Ameanstreakamilewide · 29/06/2023 11:45

EJ Stout's Order specifically said that the B*ndle was like a demilitarised zone and needed to be re-done.

As we know, this was Order not adhered to.

Yeah it seems like they need to pay a significant chunk of her costs at least, I can imagine a ruling where they decide the costs related to trying to make a case against SW weren't GCC's responsibility.

I think if they award anything over half it's a resounding victory to AB anything under paying half her costs will be less than I expected watching the hearing.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 29/06/2023 11:23

I agree, @chilling19 .

A straight-down-the-line sorta fella.

chilling19 · 29/06/2023 11:20

Hey Martin! Such a great accent 👏👏👏

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 29/06/2023 11:19

Good luck Allison.

chilling19 · 29/06/2023 11:18

I think this whole tribunal will become known as the bungled bundle 😂😂😂

Ameanstreakamilewide · 29/06/2023 11:18

It's a CVP hearing.

Madcats · 29/06/2023 11:17

Is this an "in person" hearing or are they all on Zoom/Teams?

Good luck Alison and Ben

IcakethereforeIam · 29/06/2023 11:12

Just...just go easy on the 'b' word <looks round nervously> you know what might happen.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 29/06/2023 11:08

Yeah, i think so, @SpinCityBlues

chilling19 · 29/06/2023 11:08

Oooh BUNDLE

He didn't miss a thing last time. I was seriously impressed.

He's the experience trade union guy, isn't he? From the days before unions lost their little Stonewalled minds?

Redshoeblueshoe · 29/06/2023 11:03

Wow even just following on here - it's like meeting old friends

Good luck Allison

I hope it all goes in Allison's favour today and the fact that GCC were acting on SW advice echoes loud and clear.

Martin Reuby is still in attendance, too. He's excellent.

Was hoping MR would be back he seemed pretty sensible
