Could I ask for some help? I'm looking to make a list of the most eye-catching events in this case. Here's what I've knocked together. What other surprising things did people see?
Significant withholding of documents from the claimant in breach of a court order to disclose.
The bizarre assertions by Dr Beth Upton including that biological sex is a nebulous dog whistle and that he is a biological female because he is a biological being rather than a robot and is female.
A first investigation that was denied to have taken place at the start of the hearing while, at the end, not even the defence could motivate themselves to maintain the pretence that it hadn't happened.
The first investigation being horribly biased against Sandie Peggie. The second investigation being better but it was hard to see how it hadn't ended up being contaminated.
The cabal of 6 senior people in the secret email group with Upton added. This was a mix of those doing the investigating, being witnesses, and even being a party to the dispute. That there was a single incriminating (foot in mouth syndrome) email seemingly severed from the rest of the email chain in which they attempted to steer things to the detriment of Peggie.
Dr Kate Searle writing to many doctors to declare her allegiance. Getting one single equivocal reply with the recipients having far more sense than Searle.
The senior people aligning with Upton's account and against Peggie, and in interactions operating as though Upton was the most precious and valuable thing they'd ever come across in their lives.
Isla Bumba's declaration of not knowing her own sex. Searle as a consultant being hazy on what this sex thing was about. Maggie Currie being little better with her own deflections into "intersex".
The claimant's expert said that Upton's notes appeared to be dodgy in terms of the contemporaneity. The defendants' expert had a rough time in court.
Jane Russell's shenanigans including saying that the claimant's expert had been paid by the claimant's legal team to lie in the tribunal having no evidence whatsoever for such an extraordinary claim. Attempting to catch Peggie off-guard to disclose the source of her funding.
Peggie's contribution to the Benidorm group. Lindsey Nicoll dobbing in Peggie seemingly out of hatred and envy and shooting herself massively in the foot and dragging the rest of the group into a complete mess.
