Employment Tribunal starts next Monday, not sure if it is available for remote viewing.

I have sent a request so we will see.

OU brief now arguing that Jo's email response to Dr Downes was 'brusque'. Would that be argued about a man's response?

The OUs brief

On a side note, it’s no wonder that the courts are reluctant to let cameras into the proceedings.

This is very true.

Oh a little impatient that Jo is not conceding the point.

The judge or the OU's brief?

Jo having to explain what Slack is.

Melissamelisante · 04/10/2023 14:03

don't get what she's trying to get out.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 04/10/2023 14:03

Now leaning on that Jo could have just sorted it out with a conversation rather than escalating.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 04/10/2023 13:58

From this line of questioning it sounds as though the OU are going with the 'it was some academics, not the OU as an entity' defence?

LipbalmOrKnickers · 04/10/2023 13:54

Ready reckoner for pagination has been introduced 🙄

PoshCoffee · 04/10/2023 13:53

Just got back from lunch and am back in the waiting room. Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 04/10/2023 13:53

Just noticed witness statement is now up in chat.

MavisMcMinty · 04/10/2023 13:51

Maybe - as in many other professions - barristers fail upwards? This judge sounds unbefuckinglievably incompetent.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 04/10/2023 13:49

She was wonderful.

I miss Judge Goodman

I miss her cat

If it's going to take EJ a full minute to access the right page in an electronic bundle every time her timetable is going to be in flapping in tatters when we get to the paper documents.

And the judge is already asking where we are in the bundle. BC has the patience of a saint.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 04/10/2023 13:45

I'm curious.

Where i work, we routinely test the equipment in meeting rooms, so they don't conk out during a potentially pivotal moment.
Does anyone else do this?

LipbalmOrKnickers · 04/10/2023 13:42

Pausing three and a half seconds in for Judge to swap screens.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 04/10/2023 13:41

'Gone' to top itself, i reckon.

CriticalCondition · 04/10/2023 13:41

And yes, the witness 'stand' is the table in front of the window on the very far side of the room so the witness is a tiny black silhouette the size of a postage stamp.

Judge just told Justin that her screen has gone.
