I felt that asking for names was a bit 'activistic'...I doubt this is an 'error'.

Was the email sent blind copy or can you see everyone else it went to?

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 13/05/2024 13:45

Yep. I'm in. Bit of a shock to see my name written on an official document but there we are.

Pyjamagame · 13/05/2024 13:39

What a fuck up.

GoodHeavens99 · 13/05/2024 13:39

Pyjamagame · 13/05/2024 13:37

So, just bear in mind, that people who applied and have not been granted access have also have been sent this order...

That's what has just occurred to me.

Don't they understand why we enjoy our anonymity??

MarieDeGournay · 13/05/2024 13:38

Revealing real names, asking for justification for remote access, it's all feeling very very punitive to me...

Is that GDPR compliant?!

I certainly had no idea my name would be published on court documents. I emailed directly with the details posted here, and the only communication I had back from the EAT was an acknowledgment of my email. No warning!

Pyjamagame · 13/05/2024 13:35

I've just received it and am not on the list but have now seen rather a lot of personal information. Written back to query why I have received lots of personal info on other people. . .

NoBinturongsHereMate · 13/05/2024 13:34

Propertylover · 13/05/2024 13:34

I have received mine. I am glad they have made it formal.

GCITC · 13/05/2024 13:34

I'm assuming another email will arrive with log in details?

GCITC · 13/05/2024 13:32

Names and reasons why we can not attend in person!

It's getting very official.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 13/05/2024 13:29

Real names, broad location and reason for granting remote access.

EggcornAcorn · 13/05/2024 13:27

Wait! What? Crikey.

JollyJanuary · 13/05/2024 13:24

The names was a bit of a shock!

GoodHeavens99 · 13/05/2024 13:21

I've just had mine.

GoodHeavens99 · 13/05/2024 13:19

SidewaysOtter · 13/05/2024 13:15

Theres a document attached - which, grant you, is a sealed order - but it has all our real names on it?

Really??

AlisonDonut · 13/05/2024 13:19

Oh my goodness. That's horrendous.

SidewaysOtter · 13/05/2024 13:15

SidewaysOtter · 13/05/2024 13:13

Email has arrived!

nauticant · 13/05/2024 11:03

It seems I've caused confusion. Michelle Brewer acted in Regina (C) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions which is unrelated to Allison Bailey's case. I was just struck that her name has popped up and it showed that there's a very busy trans activist group in the legal world.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/05/2024 11:02

Claire McCann gave Stonewall Law legal advice to the government during the Trans Equality Inquiry in 2015 and the Gender Recognition Act self ID proposal in 2018.

Ms Stephanie Harrison, QC, Ms Michelle Brewer and Ms Claire McCann for the claimant;

I assume that would be Michelle Brewer of Garden Court Chambers who gave evidence against Allison Bailey that many struggled to believe. IIRC, it was also Michelle Brewer who had the bincident while conspiring on the phone as she was driving her car.

That’s really interesting. So someone that was a witness against the claimant in the earlier hearing can now act on behalf of the respondent in the appeal? It really gives another side to their previous evidence doesn’t it.

No RMW this time?

Ms Stephanie Harrison, QC, Ms Michelle Brewer and Ms Claire McCann for the claimant;

Are we in for another round of We were very busy/I was on holiday/I don't remember/I was reversing into a bin at the time bullshit bingo?

Ms Stephanie Harrison, QC, Ms Michelle Brewer and Ms Claire McCann for the claimant;

Stephanie Harrison did as well, i think.

Not the bincident bit!
