[ickky]

The Tribunal will start on 25th April at 10am. If you would like to view online you need to send a request for access as early as possible.

Send an email to

The subject heading of the email request should read

“MEDIA OR PUBLIC ACCESS REQUEST – Case number 2202172/2020 - Ms A Bailey – 25th April 2022.

Then ask for the pin for the online access.

You will be contacted with instructions on how to observe the hearing.

I have sent a request but haven't had anything back yet. Hopefully nearer the time.

From memory I think they only email details very close to the start date. I also think the first few days may be taken up with pre reading and any legal arguments.

Allison sent out an email yesterday saying that the first two days would be set aside for reading and there would be no witnesses. However, she also said that on the first day there are usually matters arising for the tribunal to deal with so “it’s worth planning to follow proceedings on Monday”. Sounds interesting!

Alison's update email said to email her for the tribunal email address to request an access link. I'm presuming it'll be the same one that Ickky kindly provided at the top of the thread that I've already sent my request to. Thanks, @ickky!

"A laudable aim".

Might be worth doing both, just in case.

It's the same email address from Allison. 👌

My code just came through so it looks like they are starting to send them out this afternoon.

Mine too. See you all there.

Mine too

And mine. This should be very interesting.

Mine too

Snowed under at work so won't be able to follow it. I hope someone amazing will be posting updates.

Well this is certainly something to look forward too

Mine too. I have to work Monday and Tuesday but should be able to observe some later in the week.

I'll be following.

matters arising for the tribunal to deal with so “it’s worth planning to follow proceedings on Monday”. Sounds interesting!

Will we have an evidence bundle to study? Are there going to be pre-hearing briefing notes so we understand more about how to follow along and the true significance of "matters arising."

We need modules. Being a renaissance style GC advocate requires a familiarity with zoology, sports medicine, endocrinology, the niceties of employment tribunals, the waves of feminism, post-modernism, queer theory and so much more. (OT: hoping this gif works because it does in preview.)

Didn't get mine yet. 😞

I got mine around 4pm yesterday. I'm back to back with meetings all week though 😭😭

I just realised this is tomorrow!

This has the potential to be hugely significant, doesn't it?

The era of no debate is well and truly over for Stonewall, they are (finally!) going to have to answer questions about their ideology in court. Given they've refused to do this over the last several years, they've had no practice in honing their arguments, this is likely to be a shit show for them, isn't it?

And it doesn't help them one bit that they're up against the formidable Ben Cooper

Apparently the first day would normally be quite boring but Allison Bailey has tipped that we should be on the lookout for the "matters arising" discussion.

Does anyone know if Tribunal Tweets will be tweeting ?
I might pop over to Twitter to check

well that was a stupid question. Just looked and I'm already following Tribunal Tweets - Alison Bailey

I'm at work all week with no internet access,so I'll be catching up every evening.
All the best to you Alison,you amazing woman.

Agreed!

Just emailed for access - many thanks for the link @ickky
