"I have received the "remedy" judgement in my case.
@cgdev has been ordered to pay over £100k in compensation for loss of earnings, injury to feelings and aggravated damages for their high-handed conduct.
Thank-you to everyone who supported my case"

Brilliant woman! Her name will be in the history books. WORIAD.

Brilliant news

😂😉🤣

This is excellent news. Well done Maya!

Companies will be a lot more cautious about bullying their gender-critical employees now they know they could punished with such a significant sum of money at tribunal.

I guess Pink News have their uses after all.

Great news. Not nearly enough but a lot for an ET.

Well done Maya.

Pleased for Maya, pleased for the example that has been set.

Megyn Kelly in America is following the case! Bet it gets a mention.

Fabulous news!

It quite clearly says that they are personally liable but I expect they will misuse development funds to avoid that.

This is such good news. I am so glad that you were vindicated Maya, such a brave woman.

You have saved us from the scene in the first TV episode of the Handmaid's Tale when all the women's bank accounts were closed down and they had to leave their jobs.

When I first read the book, over 20 years ago, it was from the perspective of this will never happen (in the West). When I started watching the TV series, I cried because it was happening. Still is, but the tide is turning because of brave women like you (and Allison, JKR, Jo Phoenix, Denise etc etc.

Warriors all of you. ❤️

Excellent news. Well done Maya.

Did she get costs as well and is so how much?? Cheers.

So pleased 😀

This is great news... but she has lost her entire career.. at the age of 50, she would have had at least 10 years ahead of her, I would hazard a guess that she was on more than 10k a year.

Who would have thought? I weep for GCD 😂 Looking at the damages judgment there wasn't a huge difference between what the original judge said and what GCD told Pink News but there was a difference. Now companies know to mind what they say to the press. Even Pink News (which barely counts)

.

This is excellent news. Allison next, please.

Brilliant! WORIAD Warrior Woman!

Incidentally, for a hugely enjoyable satirical take on the whole saga, I heartily recommend Simon Edge's novel "In The Beginning". Couldn't stop laughing.

Brilliant news but its important to remember the compensation still doesn't give Maya the right to.....

YAH !! So pleased to read this.

That's that's fantastic news. Well done to Maya.

She is a true warrior, she's sacrificed everything for the sake of what she believed. And so that other women can talk.

And yes, we see all the bloody live long day how TRAs twist things and misrepresent them, lie and employ a shit ton of hyperbole. It's good to know that there are judges out there who not only see straight through all that crap, but will make sure there are consequences for employing it.

Thingy - 😂😂😂😂 - needed this today

Reading that judgement, it did make me chuckle that it refers to 'hurt feelings' and, despite TRAs always wanging on about having their feelings hurt for the most spurious reasons, Maya has actually been given a wad of cash for them! Oh, the delicious irony!😁

That's fantastic news 😀
Should be higher IMO but a victory nonetheless!

That is great. But is there any discussion of costs?
