Review Time
I am extremely disappointed with how my employment hearing was managed. Right from the beginning, it was evident that the judge had already formed a conclusion before the hearing even started. During the proceedings, he frequently interrupted me, which hindered my ability to present my case effectively. Even though I provided clear and pertinent evidence, it was completely disregarded by the judge.
The entire process felt hurried, giving me minimal chance to fully articulate my position. Conversely, the opposing side was allowed to raise unrelated questions, which further compromised the fairness of the hearing. This disparity created an atmosphere where my voice was muted and my evidence overlooked.
In summary, the hearing failed to adhere to fundamental standards of impartiality and fairness. I walked away feeling ignored, disrespected, and deprived of the chance to have my case thoroughly examined.
I brought a tribunal case against an employer which was unfathomably bad. Firstly, after going through ACAS and getting to the point where the case was filed I heard absolutely nothing back from the court. Around 6 months later I randomly decided to contact the tribunal service via phone to find out when my case was to be heard only to be told it would be in 2 weeks and I had to submit my evidence that day. I rushed to prepare my pack and submitted it before the deadline. This was just the start of what would be a hugely frustrating and eye opening experience that highlighted just how corrupt and unfit for purpose the service is. On the day of the case we were told by the judge that the case would be heard by him and him alone.. first red flag. The respondent hadn't even bothered to turn up to court and instead sent somebody from the company that I had never met or spoken to before. Every single piece of evidence I presented was dismissed by the judge who went as far as making excuses and putting explanations in the mouth of the respondent who happily nodded along knowing the judge was wholly on his side from the outset. They brought no evidence at all except an email they had printed out and brought to the court which was allowed to be submitted as evidence on the day ..second major red flag. The email in question was meant to highlight that the company had followed their dismissal process that the respondent's representative had gone to great detail in court to explain was a routine part of their notification process. The only problem was upon inspection the email was created and dated that morning an hour before we had arrived in court, which proved they had failed to follow their own process and notify me of dismissal. The judge then said it "must have been a mistake" on their part, literally making an excuse on their behalf for something that should have been dismissed as evidence on the basis that they had attempted to mislead the court. The judge unsurprisingly ruled in their favour and I went home completely depressed and angry. I then did some research and found I could ask for the judge's decision in writing, which I promptly requested knowing that if nothing else, a document of just how bad this process was would become part of public record. Then for some inexplicable, magical reason I received a letter from the judge saying he believed he may have "misdirected himself in law" and failed to view the case properly, that he would review the decision and come back to me. The decision was then reversed and I won, but only at the point where the judge was held accountable for his actions in the court. If anyone has an explanation as to how a judge with over 20 years experience in dealing with employment tribunals can forget how to view a simple breach of contract case, I'd be really interested to know.
My experience with the Leeds Employment Tribunal was extremely disappointing. In my opinion, the entire process felt like a waste of time. The outcome was unfair, and I believe the judge Knowles did not take into account the full details or properly consider what my representative had to say and me I felt that the tribunal did not truly listen to my sides but listen to the other side or provide a fair platform for presenting evidence. The handling of the case seemed biased, and the decision appeared to favor the other party without a balanced assessment.Based on my experience, I would rate the service zero stars. Unfortunately, I found the tribunal system to be unhelpful, frustrating, and ultimately unjust. Unjustly. This is my personal opinion, but I would not recommend relying on the Employment Tribunal process if you're seeking justice or impartiality from.the judge also .
I am deeply dissatisfied with the way my employment hearing in Leeds was conducted. From the outset, it was clear that the judge had already made up his mind before the proceedings even began. Throughout the hearing, he repeatedly interrupted me, preventing me from properly presenting my case. Despite the fact that I provided clear and relevant evidence, the judge chose to ignore it entirely.The process felt rushed, leaving me little opportunity to explain my position fully. In contrast, the other side was permitted to ask questions on matters that were not related to the case, which further undermined the fairness of the hearing. This imbalance created an environment where my voice was silenced and my evidence disregarded.Overall, the hearing did not meet the basic standards of impartiality and fairness. I left the process feeling unheard, disrespected, and denied the opportunity to have my case properly considered.
I am compelled to leave this review after reading a similar one.Judge James Bromige was neither fair nor impartial during my case. He allowed my employer's defence, represented by a fully-paid corporate barrister, several exceptions he would not afford myself. He gave my employer's misleading version of events significantly more weight than my honest and truthful account. As a litigant in person (LiP), I needed help understanding the legal terminology and processes, help that I was not given and which was used against me to my detriment.The treatment I received from my employer was deplorable. While it may not have been as severe as the other reviewer experienced, it was unacceptable.Ugandan employment law is more equitable than ours, especially given the judges we have. There is a clear bias toward employers with fully-funded barristers over disabled LiPs, who are often objectively treated with utmost disdain. I faced challenges due to my mobility issues, although perhaps less severe than those of the other reviewer (who was too ill to drive, but their employer ordered them to break road traffic laws, what!). It was shocking that Judge Bromige deemed my employer's demands acceptable despite contradicting my doctor's and clinician's assessments of my abilities. I was also pressured and harassed to return to work early against my doctor's advice and was assigned impossible duties. My requests for reasonable adjustments, which my GP endorsed, were ignored by my employer and, later, in the course of these proceedings, by the judge.Furthermore, my submission of the claim after the three-month limit was predictably used against me. I sincerely apologise if my employer's bullying and harassment—contributing to my first-ever diagnosis of depression at 40 years old and requiring antidepressants—as well as the passing of both my parents caused some emotional turmoil in my life.I cannot express how unjust and wrong this entire ordeal has been. My employer's easily provable lies were overlooked in favour of the defence's unsupported claims, spouting, 'I put it to you!' with no grounding in reality. I did not receive the same respect and treatment as my employer's barrister. Employers can do whatever they want, act with impunity, and are not held accountable for their actions.Just another privileged rich boy laughing at us peasants.
My experience with Croydon EMPLOYMENT Tribunal was traumatic .As a lay person I was assisting a disabled Claimant .Upon cross examining Ex Employer May Harris a cleaning Co which employs 900 staff & bullies the vulnerable staff > I was * shut- down by the Judge WILSON who IN MY OPINION was BIASED IN FAVOUR OF EMPLOYER WHO HAD FREE REIGN TO SAY WHATEVER THEY WANTED .The Strike out request was ignored & disability of claimant ignored ..
The Aberdeen employment tribunal judges in my experience have been shoddy, unprepared, unintelligent and lazy. They don’t read the evidence before hearings. They don’t know important case law related to their field of “employment” leading them to make wrong decisions which is extremely alarming. One judge in particular couldn’t even remember the term mutuality of obligation or what it was about mid hearing lol It’s unclear if they’re even assessed for competence, intelligence, impartiality and due diligence. In other, more civilised and successful countries this sort of behaviour would not be allowed to pass but in the UK it’s hush hush don’t say a word about the learned judge!
I recently. Had a case with. Croydon tribunal court. Against. May Harris. Muti cleaning. Services. The hearing. Was not heard fairly. And now I have to go to the the appeal. Courts. My case was based on health and safety issues. And was. Heard. As a constrictive. Dismissal case.without me being informed. Which was unreasonable as I was working with a serous. Injury. With no safty net in place for my. Welfare .Also a strike out was requested to the judge . Under extreme. Circumstances. And was not considered. By Croydon tribunal court. Very poor experience. For me the claimant. As my first.ever Time in court
Everything what's written in other reviews related to corrupted judges and how the case is treated when you come by yourself with no legal representatives is true.Don't even try to request for reconsideration because the corrupted judge (in my case judge Heath) will give you a very fluffy response without any consideration: "there was a dispute on day 1 about documents disclosed late. However, on the morning of day 2 the Claimant confirmed that she had no objection to the documents going in the bundle, and that she would be asking questions of the witnesses about them. There is nothing in this part of the application which would lead the Tribunal to vary or revoke it's decision. In respect of the unreliable statements, it appears that the Claimant is simply seeking to persuade the Tribunal to change its determination on the facts. We reached a decision on the basis of the evidence put before us. The Claimant is just asking us to take a different view". The judge Heath during the hearing questioned himself the genuinity of the document while challenging the respondent and it was admitted that it was never presented to anybody and it was not clear when that document was created. However, they made a judgement based on that document in their verdict clearly favouring the respondent. HIGHLY CORRUPTED BUNCH OF SERVANTS WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT SINGLE INDIVIDUALS AND USING THE SITUATION AGAINST YOU IF YOU COME TO THE HEARING WITHOUT ANY LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
Institutionalised abuse, corruption, and the old boys network still exists. As a victim of horrendous discrimination, bullying and inequitable treatment in the workplace, I hoped that someone would listen. But, I was made a mockery of. I had no chance representing myself. A lone, older, disabled woman with hidden and visible disabilities.My truth, my experience, my pain, my torture, was of no consequence. Faux concern, faux pretence at listening, perhaps as they laughed inside. Two men, one woman, male solicitor for the Respondent and a male Respondent. I might as well have been invisible. The fact that despite everything, I was able to be articulate and eloquent, probably did not play in my favour. Being a woman of colour, also another fail. How dare I speak eloquently. Surely I am paranoid? Surely my male torturer was only doing his job? The dehumanisation of black and brown women is just as prevalent as the adultification of black and brown girls. We are deemed less worthy of sympathy, empathy, understanding. We can be abused, lied about, insulted, demeaned, and it will be felt that we can handle it. I feel so sick. Having suffered a life of abuse. I fought hard to live and even in my old age, I am still being abused, being disbelieved, laughed at, insulted, degraded, and all is OK because my torturer too, was black, but with power and money behind him. I am poor so I must just be after money. I disclosed medical evidence that is so personal. But, this was disregarded and I was considered to be a liar. I can't cope with that thought. It hurts so much. It hurts too much, but then I'm a black woman, old, disabled, poor, unworthy of recognition, unworthy of sympathy, or care. I wish I was as good an actor as those who judged me useless and unworthy of belief.The system of Justice in this godforsaken country is skewed toward those who are powerful, and have unlimited wealth. The public sector organisations, especially. A lone woman, with only the truth, has two chances of success at an employment tribunal, when not represented - fat chance and no chance. Perhaps some have been successful but I expect they will be the minority and I applaud them. Daring to live black or brown, and daring to think you'd be listened to, is a pipe dream.The wickedness of human beings who can exploit, lie with impunity and be believed is something I shall never get over. To be considered a liar when you provide as much evidence as you can, to support your claims is horrendous. Despite being very unwell, I tried so hard. Had I known it would not matter and I'd be adjudicated a LIAR, I would not have put myself through the torture and believe me, it was torturous. I feel embarrassed, ashamed, destroyed.Our justice system is a joke. No wonder there is so much corruption in public organisations. I was considered a liar, my lived experience of ABUSE was considered acceptable and deserved. Disclosing any type of psychological abuse will ensure you are considered to be paranoid. Being poor means you'll be considered to be only after money. Having people lie about me and be believed is soul-destroying. I wish I could have changed colour for a day. I wish I could have dumbed myself down for a day. I wish I could have changed gender for a day. I would perhaps have had more of a chance to be believed.Please everyone, try to find representation if you take unscrupulous employers to an employment tribunal. You need to be coached. I told the truth. I was not believed. I was manipulated by the Respondent. They surely made a fool of me. I will keep fighting because I will expose the institutional abuse, discrimination, and exploitation, inherent in all public sector organisations and indeed the judicial system in this supposed Great Britain.
