Sandie Peggie, a nurse at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy (VH), has brought claims in the employment tribunal against her employer; Fife Health Board (the Board) and another employee, Dr B Upton. Ms Peggie’s claims are of sexual harassment, harassment related to a protected belief, indirect discrimination and victimisation. Dr Upton claims to be a transwoman, that is observed as male at birth but asserting a female gender identity.

The Employment Tribunal hearing started on Monday 3 January 2025 and is expected to continue for 2 weeks.

I know the witness from Stonewall in the Alison Bailey tribunal had a whole support team (plus dog) with him, but why is any support permitted at all?

Are all witnesses allowed handholders?

Mayaisashero · 06/02/2025 11:56

I find it a bit odd that this many people are allowed to crowd behind the witness for some witnesses and not others. It does not seem fair.

Just an observation but the supporter most obviously presenting as male sits completely differently to the others

Indeed. Completely

So they took a 5 min break to bring in DU - 35 mins ago? WTF

Morning all. I’ve been in meetings all morning. Are we waiting for the next witness? Is it Dr Upton? 🤞🏼

Yes and yes

Yep

WFTCHTJ · 06/02/2025 11:56

This all sounds rather farcical
