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.
