NHS Fife tries to silence nurse - Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife Health Board and Dr Beth Upton - thread #11

[nauticant]

Sandie Peggie, a nurse at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy (VH), has brought claims in the employment tribunal against her employer; Fife Health Board (the Board) and another employee, Dr B Upton. Ms Peggie’s claims are of sexual harassment, harassment related to a protected belief, indirect discrimination and victimisation. Dr Upton claims to be a transwoman, that is observed as male at birth but asserting a female gender identity.

The Employment Tribunal hearing started on Monday 3 February 2025 and was expected to continue for 2 weeks although at the start of the second week getting everything done in this time period was looking less certain. The hearing commenced with Sandie Peggie giving evidence. Dr Beth Upton started giving evidence on Thursday 6 February.

Oh God this chat function is turning into a car crash!

I can't see the tribunal any more just that random bloke.

Its a problem at the courts end.

Every now and then a whole bunch of viewers mics are turned on, or a whole bunch of viewers are admitted with their mics on.

Gosh if this happened to me I could be in a lot of trougble - much swearing at the screen here.

I have to go out to the pharmacy and will miss the next 30 minutes - ug!

FFS can't someone boot the older guy with the telly on in the background.

Dude get off the screen! Turn your TV off! Arghhhhhh

The issues seem almost deliberate - they haven't had this problem any other day. WTF is this bloke we keep seeing and how is his camera overriding the main feed?

Hope he's not about to do something weird

Same person making the noise and visible on screen. the clerk should nip it in the bud.

With his telly on.

There are 100s of people and most of them have managed it. It's a deliberate attempt to shut down open justice in my opinion and the court could easily prevent it. Not rocket science.

Frustrating - when we have group calls the clerk turns all mics off automatically. Makes one suspect foul play,

This bloke must be able to see he's on screen?

Both nc and du have referred to colleagues in the plural. For the notes. There must be more...

What a mess.

I've covered my camera with blutac just in case 😅

It’s all very well for amateurs to fail to use the system correctly. It’s not for the court team to fail to manage it.

Someone needs to tell the chap in glasses what to do.

FGS this observer with his camera on is going to get us all kicked out

Shit.

I just got kicked out

Great now we're all chucked out?

Kicked out

I've just been disconnected

I'd be mortified if I got identified on camera. Its not his fault but the court will blame the viewers

It seems to be Tribunal room 4 that all the noise is coming from, it was the only one with the green mic showing.

At last, they've booted him.

Someone is screensharing...

And booted.
