Well it’ll be out by June just like this judgment.

Dont forget though that Northern Ireland doesn’t have the Equality Act 2010, just lots of different legislation and there is a view the Supreme Court Judgment in FWS doesn’t apply here.

The ECNI has referred itself for judicial review to confirm the situation so more of a legal muddle than GB. We can’t lament non implementation of FWS because we still have to prove it matters.

This should have been a straightforward judgement. I can only assume we have a perverse judgement in tbe offing and the judge is struggling with the word salad to justify it.

If I remember correctly, wasn't this The One With The Fake Professor? And she stepped back from the tribunal panel, mid-way into the proceedings? Could that be delaying the judgement in any way?

How on earth can it take this long? It's a tribunal judgement¹, not a baby.

¹ And really not a difficult one.

You do remember correctly, but it shouldn't cause delay. The ex member has no further involvement, and at the stage she stepped down wouldn't have left any 'work in prgress' to be dealt with. If anything it should be quicker to make a decision with a panel of 2 than of 3.

Nick Wallis reports the lady judge was on personal leave for three months which explains part of the delay.

I think that she identified as a judge too🙄

What a shitshow. Amongst many others.
That Judge was so full of her own importance too. I hope that when it lands it is at least more coherent than Judge Kemp and his invisible learned friend.
