SYNOPSIS / In Brief :
Employment commenced on 4/Jan/00. By summer 2000, as the
company expanded in Europe, responsibility for the European financial reporting to the US
head office was given and by autumn a Directorship followed, after the departure of one of
the company founders, and as always on the promise of benefits at a later stage.
In September 2002 (some 2 1/2 years on) was casually told (by
the way) that the European duties were given to a European based colleague. When asked of
what was to be expected thereafter assurances of job security on UK duties etc were given
which just like previous promises of career advancement and related benefits as well as
job security never materialised.
Inevitably in such circumstances, attitudes have changed and
disrespectful acts/attitudes (systematic bullying) were mounted to cover for their
misdeeds.There were no options for grievance procedures and as confirmed at a later stage,
despite the company being a multinational and a Public company, no grievance or other
vital procedures were available in practice to personel despite Head Office public
statements on Corporate Governance practices. Lack of procedure resulted in a
psychological stress related trauma.
During the second month of this unprecedented illness,
redundancy was issued (March 03). This time a strategic calculating excuse, attributed
this to company restructuring obviously now to alleviate responsibility and with no
alternatives offered despite the fact that the job is not obsolete. No consideration was
given to the illness inflicted, neither for the constant support and guidance provided to
them on demand for smooth running of the function during the sick leave, nor for the
employment contract sickness provision.
The company refused to negotiate either directly in the UK or
the US (supporting European MD) or via ACAS. Various issues were left
pending and the Employment Tribunals were the only available option. An insight from the
tribunals experience to date points in an orchestrated support for the benefit of the
corporate world.
The law provides for Fair Hearings, Disclosure of material
documents to a case, Equal Footing, Due Process and upholds Fundamental Fairness in the
interest of justice within a Democratic system - a far cry from the reality of this case.
It does not provide for Discrimination, Victimisation, Denial of Rights, Abduction
of Rights, Suppression, Collusion and Fraud, False Processes, False Instruments and yet,
these have been embroiled within this civil case.
It is the Duty of every citizen to report a crime. On
22/10/04, these mal practices were reported to the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary and
the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. They have chosen to either ignore the
letters altogether or simply dismissed them with technicalities (not their duty !) rather
than to pursue an investigation in the fundamental interests of justice.
These Government Departments are responsible for the
appointment of Judges, yet they seem unable to uphold the responsibilities of an
employer. Ultimately, these positions are positions of Public service and funded by the
taxpayer. In principle these should be accountable to the government and its citizens yet
on the instance they are challenged, using their vested powers they try to annihilate the
victim . Other Courts, further suppressed evidence provided and proceeded to
support illegalities to date resulting to more questions than answers.
Evasiveness is their first step followed by an outright halt in communications.
This site will help you understand and evaluate the
technicalities in legal quests. Many take it for granted that justice prevails in a court
of law but this is far from reality. There are many factors that contribute towards a
Court's decision especially since Judicial positions are not under any scrutiny or control
and appear to be above the law(since there seems to be no control and proper supervision),
despite the fact that these are held by people with weaknesses and strengths who can also
fail to uphold and support ethical and legal standards as well as the principles that a
Democratic society prides itself upon. This has now become an ongoing struggle and will
hopefully facilitate others in similar circumstances so that the interest of Justice
prevails across the board as intended and as set out in the principles of natural Justice
and Human Rights.
