It's definitely on tomorrow, lists have updated. Bean, Newey and Whipple. Bean was a full on employment/discrim silk at the bar so should be a good choice.

Shame we won't get to listen to Kirrin again.
Such a laugh

It would have been Kirrin without the supporting cast, so not nearly as good (especially without the dog).

Does anyone know what time the broadcast will start tomorrow please? Sorry if I missed this somewhere.

I’m so pleased this will be on YouTube, so I can watch when I can.

It’s a busy week this week, which unfortunately coincides with a busy week at work

Thanks for the thread @impossibletoday

Schadenfreude is an ugly emotion and I try to avoid it on trans issues because it's both unhealthy and objectionable, but my strenuous efforts aren't helped by the screeching dismissal of GC lawsuits by TRAs only to have judgements come back in favor of sex materialism, and the frankly hilarious efforts the GLP to cast their record as anything other than a long string of embarrassing failures and irrelevancies.

I feel that it is auspicious that this action starts on what is "Bin Day" for the Madcat household.

The listing here says 10:30

That said, it's gone 10:30 now and I see no sign of anything on the youtube page - anyone?

Yay, it's live and Ben is speaking!

Interesting discussion about why "but for" causation is not enough. Lawyers, would I be right in thinking that the following is an example of why it's not enough in the case of direct discrimination? Ben and the judges seem to think it's obvious...

A places an order with B. This is the only order B has. B recruits to a role in order to fulfill it, and in the process discriminates against C. But for the order, B would not have recruited - but here A is clearly blameless.

It's live now. Can't see any emotional support animals though.

Good to hear Ben's dulcet tones again

Where can I view this please?

cross post

I’ve never seen Ben in his wig, and gown before.
He looks great. 👍🏻

The link to the YT page is here: https://www.judiciary.uk/the-court-of-appeal-civil-division-live-streaming-of-court-hearings/

This might help with “but for” https://www.fsp-law.com/because-of-or-but-for/

I’m liking the clarifications by the female judge - her questions are making it much easier to follow Ben’s arguments.

Listening now. I've missed Ben...

And good luck again to Allison and her team.

Six years on all this - unbelievable it has taken so long, what persistence Allison Bailey must have.

I'm on the link.

No real idea what's happening!

What an improvement on the usual dreadful audio/visual set up we’re used to!
