Virtual beers on me

[Ed]

I won a sex discrimination case in the Employment Tribunal today:D

I like employment litigation and in particular doing the advocacy before the Employment Judge:cool:

Well done Ed, hope that all is going well. I wish you were my solicitor, my homophobia case is being horribly denied and lied about by the very people who did it!

Anyway, well done Ed.

Nothing supposed about it Bill - yes, the victim. It isn't actually the final disposal of the case.

Complex bit of law madde simple here. Like all ET claims, SD claims must be brought within 3 months of the act occurring. In some cases the date can be extended by 3 months. However even with a 3 month extension this claim was, on the face of it, brought out of time. I wasn't acting at the time, another firm was, and when the company defended on the basis of 'out of time' they told the client to instruct another lawyer so she instructed me. The only way through was to say that the discrimination - culminating in her dismissal - was a continuing act of discrimination rather than an isolated case, because where there is a continuing act the time limit starts from the end of those acts. Not as easy as it sounds....

I got the judge on side, so the case goes for a full hearing in December:cool:

[CoolGirl]

Go Ed!:notworthy:

[Cazza]

A pat on the 'ed for Ed. Good news!

Sounds easy? :confused:


Brilliant strategy!
Even the simples version sounds to be a bit complex to me


Hope things go well again in December.
