Reading what she says, the judgement seems muddled and contradictory.

It's so fucking annoying that these people don't really grasp the implications of what they're saying.

If she wants to go again, I'm happy to back her all the way.

lcakethereforeIam · 24/07/2024 11:10

Gutted for her. She's such a battler and there is blue sky.

dunBle · 24/07/2024 11:09

Ah well, looks like retiring this username will have to wait until Allison and her team decide if they wish to take it further.

SelfPortraitWithHagstone · 24/07/2024 11:08

Wait, I was a bit premature there - has anyone got a link to the actual judgement? Can't see it online but don't know where to look!

@Signalbox
Thank you, that is upsetting and it all sounds a bit off.
Perhaps they have a relative.

Thanks for the thread reader link.

This is interesting.

“Fifthly, my case is about direct discrimination, but the judgment also considers indirect discrimination. There, it appears to establish that workplace policies of “Stonewall Law” through the Diversity Champions Scheme – e.g. the removal of single sex spaces – DOES in fact generate legal liability for Stonewall. This is a hollow victory for them.”

Damn

SelfPortraitWithHagstone · 24/07/2024 11:05

Shit. I am so sorry for her. Argh. And it seems so completely CRAZY, of COURSE they tried to get her sacked, for fuck's sake!

However as someone said upthread, I think, it is still a win in the sense that taking advice from Stonewall means you are on your own and they don't take any responsibility... Just off to read the judgement.

Although normally TT put out a Tweet if there are tech issues but I can't see that they are reporting on this today as two other cases going on.

Signalbox · 24/07/2024 10:56

Yes I guess the parties can't put statements out until the decision has been officially announced by the court. So if the court is late in starting (for whatever reason) the statements will be delayed also.

Omlettes · 24/07/2024 10:54

Datun · 24/07/2024 10:52

Yes Delay in announcing the news.

Phew, thats ok.
Could be late in getting started or any number of things.

CriticalCondition · 24/07/2024 10:54

We know judgments are released to the parties beforehand. This must be a technical or admin hitch with the court so I don't think it can relate in any way to the substance of the judgment.

Datun · 24/07/2024 10:52

Omlettes · 24/07/2024 10:52

What hitch?
Or do you mean delay?

I’m inclined to think bad.

I can't work out if a hitch means it's good or bad news.

Going to put some washing on in the hope it helps speed things along.

I've done several 2 minute jobs since 10.30 in the hope that I'll come back to news. This is agonising.

Im holding my breath. Ive been up all night as is, just waiting for this before I sleep...hurry up!
Anyone got her number, lets text her ;)

The anticipation .... 10.42am 😮

Definitely, I will need to be on here to relieve my feelings, either way!
