At a time of severe cuts to public spending, where local councils are being forced to make substantial savings, are tax payers receiving value for money and are exemplary procurement practices being promoted?
An unrepresented Black employee has brought a multi discrimination case against Lewisham Council, Babcock Education and Skills Limited, (a company which comes under the umbrella of the FTSE 100 Company Babcock International Group PLC) and 8 individual respondents.
A 20 day hearing involving an alleged sustained campaign of bullying, harassment and victimisation against a Black disabled employee by Babcock management, over a two year period is taking place from 16 January 2012 at Croydon Employment Tribunal. Lewisham Council is also a co-Respondent in the case.
From 23rd January 2012 the Claimant will begin her cross-examination of 10 witnesses, (HR staff and senior managers). This will last nearly two weeks. We have been informed that the Claimant is alleging that the respondents' have fabricated evidence and that this will be exposed during their cross-examination. It is therefore expected that this may then trigger allegations of perjury.
The issues being dealt with are alleged bullying in the workplace, race and disability discrimination, failures to make 'reasonable adjustments', breaches of policies and procedures and whistleblowing detriments relating to numerous health and safety breaches, data protection breaches etc.
The claimant is unrepresented and conducting the entire case on her own. She is claiming that the respondents have caused severe and long-lasting damage to her health.
A reliable source has advised that the Claimant has submitted a 260 page witness statement and over 2500 pages of evidence supporting her case.
Solicitors firm Paris Smith based in Southampton and Barrister Martin Palmer are defending the respondents.
