Just got this email - on how to request access

Update on Stand With Maya!

This week I finished writing my seventh witness statement in this case, and we assembled the fifth bundle of evidence. My lawyers wrote their fourth opening statement, and I am preparing to be cross-examined for the third time.
I am claiming for compensation for injury to feelings, aggravated damages, lost earnings and future earnings.
The tribunal will be the same panel as before, and the hearing will be online.
If you would like to watch you should email in advance to [email protected]k_ — the email subject should be PUBLIC ACCESS REQUEST - Forstater v CGDE & Ors 2200909/2019 - 21 and 22 March.

P Mills is current HR person. Not at CGD at the time in question. The person with her is a solicitor.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 22/03/2023 11:44

She's Patsy Mills and an HR director for CGD. The chap is OD's instructing solicitor.

Just joined. Who is P Mills? and who is in with her?

Ben is, as usual, deceptively ruthless. He goes in softly, then brings out the big gun.

BC now showing that lines that P Mills put in her witness statement were provided to her by senior CGD people that are at odds with the findings of the first ET case and emails between those senior people.

Mr Plant = nominative determinism

Ameanstreakamilewide · 22/03/2023 11:38

BC - Is that the line you've been fed? Who told you this?
PM - Mark Plant.

I wonder if she's cursing Mark bloody Plant right about now??

BC, have you read the judgment?
PM, I scanned it
BC, well we'll make if that what we will

CriticalCondition · 22/03/2023 11:32

Loved BC'S elegant throwing of shade on whether there has been a search for and full disclosure of documents on this point. If only Mr Plant were here to confirm.

Thanks for all your comments and updates as i can't watch live this time x

Litigation strategy conference in CGD, circa January 2023:

A: How shall we play it this time? Play it straight or be weasels?

B: Always weasels. Every time.

SpottyBumPony · 22/03/2023 11:20

She was an excellent witness

Ooh the BC pause, love those.

I feel sorry for Ms Mills, she was very agreeable about the salaries and has now been dumped in it over her head

Yes, CGD sending a sacrificial lamb . Not a good look.

But good on P Mills for being unwilling to fill in the gaps on behalf of CGD and sticking properly to those things that are within her knowledge.

Ouch. Mr Plant is noticeable by his absence.

So, Maya is in the bid, Maya is given the boot, the bid doesn't go ahead because of this = the losses she has incurred.

This is good work by Ben Cooper. Talking about lots of email exchanges that on the face of it would support MF's case, pointing out that P Mills is unable to comment because she wasn't involved, and BC commenting that it's a shame that CGD didn't put forward as their witness Mr Plant who would have been a relevant witness to aid the tribunal.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 22/03/2023 11:16

Did MP give evidence last time?

I suspect he was too chicken to do it again, so sent Patsy Mills instead to do his dirty work for him.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 22/03/2023 11:15

Scathing!

SpottyBumPony · 22/03/2023 11:14

Mr Cooper on showing his excellent form re Mr Plant

Ooh, Ben getting razor sharp over the absence of Mr Plant

That's what i thought, but it's a bit rum if the Brits don't get any equivalent.

For US employees I'd assume part of the benefits would be very high health insurance.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 22/03/2023 11:06

Do the English employees not receive any of those 'benefits'?
