Another civil servant, Andreas Mueller, who works for an arm’s length body to a government department, is being sued for gender critical statements made at work, and for his involvement in co-founding SEEN, a gender critical staff network.
A colleague is taking him to an Employment Tribunal. The claimant, the same one as in the Elspeth Duemmer Wrigley case, is also trying to shut down the gender critical SEEN (Sex Equality and Equity Network) staff network that Mueller co-chairs.
Mueller was initially named in the Duemmer Wrigley case but has now been named in his own case.
Next dates in the case are 22 and 23 April, when the tribunal will decide whether the claimant should be granted anonymity. Mueller is opposing this, saying ‘we are opposing the application for anonymity because we strongly believe in the principle of open justice’.
Mueller will also try to have the claim against him struck out on the grounds that it is vexatious.
