Loving the T shirts and the rights hoarding necklace.

My support cat has just been cat-napped by DD17 who wants her in her bedroom rather than my office but DCat would like me to say that she will say anything for Dreamies is totally GC.

I'm always a bit behind on these things and generally end up reading Tribunal Tweets the week after followed by all of the Mumsnet comments the week after that but I will still be with you all - eventually.

Mochudubh · 18/04/2024 15:36

Got my T-shirt already

Not really, it's AI

It’s in my diary - I’ll remind again a week before x

SidewaysOtter · 18/04/2024 15:18

Here for the tribunal link. Me and my support hippo are counting down the days.

ickky · 18/04/2024 15:15

Thank you @PoshCoffee for reminding me. I will need a reminder closer to the time as my memory is shocking of late. 🙄

Thanks @ickky

PoshCoffee · 18/04/2024 15:11

It’s an unequal relationship, for sure @JustSpeculation

JustSpeculation · 18/04/2024 15:07

I find the idea of a support cat a bit counterintuitive. You support them, not the other way around....

ickky · 18/04/2024 15:00

The listing for the court usually is a week before the hearing. I will get the details and put them on here.

If anyone knows how to apply for remote hearing, please post details

Seconded.

PoshCoffee · 18/04/2024 11:55

I have acquired a support cat since the last hearing.

Keeprejoining · 18/04/2024 11:33

If there was ever a reason to start televising court cases Allison Bailey is the reason. Who would have thought employment tribunals could be so gripping and important to us all.
Well done Allison for sticking with it.

Soontobe60 · 18/04/2024 11:32

I hope they get the proverbial book thrown at them!

Placemarking.

Ben and his little wren. A thing of beauty. Be still my beating heart.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 18/04/2024 10:35

Wow! Her last case threw up some spectacularly "unique" witnesses with a range of unreliable evidence and a cast of support dogs, mums, helpers etc 😂

PoshCoffee · 18/04/2024 09:39

Although the case against Garden Court has now concluded, the litigation against Stonewall continues. My appeal against them is to be heard on 13 and 14 May 2024 at the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Ben Cooper KC is again instructed

Just a reminder this is coming up. <clears diary for BC and his support wren>
If anyone knows how to apply for remote hearing, please post details.

Amazing Woman Alison.

ickky · 09/11/2023 13:06

Also for those that don't want to read it all, but love BC.

Although the case against Garden Court Chambers has now concluded, the litigation against Stonewall continues. My appeal against them is to be heard on 13 and 14 May 2024 at the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Ben Cooper KC is again instructed, and I will update you all closer to the hearing on progress.
