Job offer withdrawn - continued...

[Char1997]

Hi, new thread started. I probably won’t have an update for a little while but just here just in case!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/legal_matters/3651983-Job-Offer-withdrawn-after-informing-employer-that-I-am-pregnant

I believe I have linked the original thread here...

Checking in as wondered how you were getting on @Char1997

I've name changed, but glad you are still on this!

Good luck!

Hi All,
Just an update. We now have a date set for a judicial mediation as she requested one. It still seems to me and my representation that she still hasn’t got any legal advice as her documents and the “evidence” she wants used at the hearing is all very unprofessional and doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense? she’s attempting to put far too much detail into it which ends up making it completely irrelevant.
Anyway, we have the judicial meditation video call on 11th of September. I don’t understand why she requested it as I can’t see her backing down and I’m most definitely not going to. The longer and longer this goes on the more annoyed I become at how badly she treated me and how many excuses she has tried to make up.
Again, I will continue to keep everyone updated! Thank you to everyone that has kept up with this and continuously wishing me good luck! I appreciate you all and hope you are all keeping safe during this horrible time!x

I remember reading your thread last year. I cant believe she has dragged this out so long.

Hope you're doing well apart from all of this.

Still following and wishing you all the best.

Good luck OP - hang in there!

Can't believe she's still not had advice - silly silly woman

@BobbieDraper all very long winded! Fingers crossed completely over and done with latest beginning of October!

@notapizzaeater honestly if you could read the proposed documents of evidence I think you would laugh it’s very odd...

@Sistery @Jackparlabane thank you both!

There is a fine line where a little bit of brains isn't enough to let you know how little you know - Dunning-Kruger and all that. Even when people like that lose (usually with a collection of fleas in their ears from judges) it's never their fault. It will be "the judge was biased" or some increasingly fantastic conspiracy theory involving race, sex, illuminati and (if you are very very lucky) an unhinged rant about pollution causing bad judgements in trials as an historic fact. (When you consider the astounding things you do see on YouTube it's hard to believe they mainly pedestrian compared to what isn't posted ...)

@Char1997 Are you aware of her defence argument as yet? If not then hopefully you will have an indication from mediation

So sorry this is still dragging on for you!

I'm still thinking about this!

What does she think she's playing at by not getting legal advice? If she had, this would have all been sorted long ago.

I know nothing about the processes here. If she doesnt have legal representation, can she appeal the decision (if she loses) and try it all again with legal support? Or is the decision binding?

If she doesnt have legal representation, can she appeal the decision (if she loses) and try it all again with legal support?

No. Lack of legal support in the initial hearing is not grounds for an appeal. It is only possible to appeal an employment tribunal decision if it is wrong on a point of law, i.e. the tribunal got the law wrong.

Just to add, getting the law wrong also covers applying the wrong law or not following the right procedures. It is also possible to appeal if the tribunal had no evidence to support its decision or was unfairly biased towards the other party, but successful appeals on these grounds are rare.

Wow just read all of it - previous thread and posts. Good for you! I hope you win!!!

Good luck! I was made redundant during maternity leave and had to settle as I couldn’t risk going to court and how drawn out it would be! I’m horrified how long this has taken but am so pleased you have pushed through despite the stress and pressures of the newborn! It’s people like you who pave the way for equal rights! They wouldn’t have withdrawn if you were a man who was having a baby - and I understand it’s different in the short term but in the grand scheme of working maternity leave is such a short time!
Really sending you all the positive vibes I can!

Thanks for updating

Ooh good luck,

Good luck!

Just read your original thread just wanted to wish you good luck.

Fingers crossed it goes well

What a stupid woman. Does she actually have a defence argument? Because her reason at the time doesn't cut the mustard.
