Thought I would take some champagne to toast the judge but I guess that would be an overkill....I am going for broke whatever happens, happens....2 years of my life is about as much as I can take so I need to go in there and give my best. Thank you SweetLorraine!

The judge was supposed to be retired in September but wants to see this case through. However, The other side might as well not be represented because he is doing their job for them!

No decision yet, another hearing tomorrow and decision on the 11th of November.

I have been self representing myself for a sex/race/disability discrimination and unfair discrimination case. We have had a total of 8 hearings with the 9th one imminent. The respondents hve done all the usual tactics which despite my protest were ignored by the judge and they would have discussions about the merit of the case as if I was not in the room. I was not allowed to cross examine my ex boss over the claims made in his witness statement, and it has felt throughout that the judge had made up his mind about the case from the onset. To add insult to injury at the last hearing the Respondents Barrister encouraged by their seemingly closeness asked the Judge for a job reference at the tail end of the hearing and the Judge agreed to give it to him advising him to send the request to him and mark it private and confidential. Is this allowed? I have had four different people attend the hearing with me and they have all questioned the partiality of the Judge. Is there something I can do?

Thanks for this, I also found QDOS Consulting v Swanson which is a 2012 EAT case

Thank you. I am reading up on the case and cases where the claim has been struck out or deposit order made to help me in my summation to the judge and I have gone through the allegations and structured the questions in a way that hopefully will stop my ex manager from waffling on without answering the question. Will le you know how I get on.

Where do I start??? I have now had 7 PHR's with the 8th coming up on Wednesday. For reasons better known to the judge he has decided to have a merit hearing to determine which of the allegations should be struck out and after 3 days of cross examination I thought I had done well until it was my turn to cross examine and I soon realized that the respondents had changed strategy and were now saying they did the stuff they did but it was for operational reasons and not because of discrimination. Once I worked that out a third into the questioning it became unbearable and I became quite ill and my carer had to ask the judge to halt proceedings. I found the case which I think they are relying on and it is one in which there was a shambolic redundancy process. My problem now is how I counter this most especially as the judge is making very negative noises and agreeing stuff with their barrister......Any ideas will help!

Thank you Honeybee13, I have found a solicitor and I am awaiting a first appointment.

Oh ok

********URGENT REQUEST******** Does any one know a good solicitor in Employment law in the East London area?? The judge advised me strongly to get a solicitor as more was complex....The judge was extremely helpful and it got to the point where he was spoon feeding me the answers to the questions. The PHR has been adjourned till 24th June
-
Thank you all for your help, I have done all I can do....will feed back to you all later today if I can manage it.

Hi Pusillanimous, I get the gist of the case but I am afraid the facts don't match. I knew what the time limits were and continued to push the union to act, but due to my worsening health I was too ill to act on my own when it became obvious that they were not going to.
-
Thank you so much, I will read the case.
-
Thank you so much for this. I already started reading cases and as advised before I had read up on Owusu and Aziz v FDA and Hendricks. Could you possibly tell me the authority on extending time for out of time claims and reliance on advice/action of an advisor? Also, am I able to request amendments to the issues that the respondent wants struck out? Thank you for all your help

I submitted a statement which I read at the PHR 2 weeks ago before it was adjourned, is it necessary to write anything that I can read to close/summarize my arguments?
