NHS Fife tries to silence nurse - Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife Health Board and Dr Beth Upton - thread #36

[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 last 2 weeks. However, after 2 weeks it was not complete and it adjourned part-heard. It resumed on 16 July and the last day of evidence will be 28 July and then there will be 2 days of submissions from counsel meaning that the hearing will end on 30 July.

The hearing commenced with Sandie Peggie giving evidence. Dr Beth Upton gave evidence from Thursday 6 February to Wednesday 12 February.

Could JR be wanting to separate clients?

Does anyone else keep having to click watch on this thread? It keeps disappearing from my watched threads.

Sugar. Not observing. Should have clicked. Will ask to remove.

Well, something's going on with the feed.<hopeful>

Had a look and although I can find the main article, I can't find the relevant inset box, even typing in the specific sub headline.

Might be in the print copy.

Waves. We're in the same virtual room

Oh! I thought that was a joke!

Raspberry leaf tea?

I've been to the corner shop, swept the kitchen floor, done the washing up and still nothing.

Do I need to start cleaning the oven?

Journalists are being allowed into the tribunal room, so looks like it's about to start...

No. That’s misinformation as humour.

Yes

Ah so the shit has finally hit the fan.

Interesting.

And Dammit, Kate Searle is going to dodge giving evidence isn't she!?

It was a joke!

Thank you. That seems to have done the trick. I am now in but still black screen

I'm going to start my Duololingo , that'll shift things along.

Nip out to the corner shop for 5 mins.

That always makes parcels arrive.

Right, I'm off to make courgette fritters for lunch. Nigella recipe. Add a bit of chilli. Half an hour. Don't let them start without me.

I've only got ginger!

I've just tried hanging the washing out I see that was unsuccessful in getting it to start as well!

That might explain the grinning on the way in.

Duolingo

Pete may be trying to fix the loos and he's taking his time, which would explain the delay
