Allison Bailey Appeal

[BordoisAgain]

She has just tweeted that she is appealing the decision to dismiss her claim against Stonewall in her recent case.

No news on if a garden is needed to be seeded though!

Interesting, thank you

I am on her mailing list and got this email today explaining a bit more:

Good news. I have been notified today by the Employment Appeal Tribunal that my appeal has passed the sift stage and will proceed to a full hearing.

The sift means that a senior EAT judge has looked at my grounds of appeal against Stonewall and determined that the proposed grounds raise reasonably arguable questions of law relating to the approach of the Employment Tribunal to the application of sub-sections 111 (2) and (3) Equality Act 2010.

When the Employment Tribunal dismissed my case against Stonewall, we say that they applied the wrong test for causation and took the wrong approach to inducement under the EqA 2010.

If I succeed on appeal it will mean that Stonewall will bear responsibility for its role in causing or inducing unlawful discrimination and victimisation against me and it will create binding legal precedent.

Findings in respect of my claims against Garden Court Chambers are not appealed. As far as we know they have not appealed either. The deadline for them to do so would have been last year, within 42 days of the judgment, and so we would expect to have received notice of it by now had they appealed.

I will update you further as and when I am able to do so.

Obviously nobody should give more than they can, but I for one will happily donate to watch Stonewall squirm.

Was actually just thinking the other day how I miss those tribunal threads and the ridiculousness....support dog anyone?

Dennis Noel Kavanaugh has tweeted it.

All the best Alison!

Just read the email. Can't wait! I'd be very happy to dig again for this cause.

Oops*Allison

Ooh.

I'm in the mood for gardening, as it happens.

I'll donate to this.

Will there be <whisper it>... bundles?

Will there be … Ben?

Will there be support kittens?

The prospect of a hefty dose of Ben Cooper has made me come over all unnecessary. Throw in more bundle dramas and some support animals and I shall have to stock up on popcorn again.

I'm left wondering about the LGB/Mermaids Charity Commission case. Has there been any update on that one?

Sheer forensic Viagra, to mid-quote Charles Spencer

Bundles of fun coming up!!! Yay!!

I’d just name changed as the tribunal madness seemed to have settled down. Am I going to have to become a support harpy now?

(And good luck Allison!)

Seems highly likely he’d be instructed on this appeal. It will be all legal argument, no evidence. It will be fascinating from a legal perspective.

And I’m pretty sure there will be bundles too.

Love the idea of a support harpy.

Fantastic news. I'll happily donate to see sunlight on Stonewall.I wonder what legal experts Stonewall will hire?

The norm is to have at appeal the same lawyers you had at first instance. For all the obvious reasons

RMW was junior I believe? They had a silk. Possible they may choose another junior.
