Stuck in the Mud
Back in July of 2008 - we reported "After a very significant delay, a claim of Sex Discrimination against Strathclyde Police continued yesterday (14th July 2008)".
Well, sadly, we were unable to report such progress in July 2009 - nor even now as we enter September 2009 with signs of the first leaves of Autumn.
Of course, beyond July 2008, the newspapers and online legal websites reported that the Tribunal had granted Robin Dixon the right to join Graeme McCullie in having all the facts of his case against Strathclyde Police heard in a full Tribunal hearing. Since then, very little has happened.
There were expectations that these cases would be completed by July of this year and this expectation was being reported back to AbsolutelyPC from within Police forces in other parts of Scotland.
The fact is that no date has yet been set for a full Tribunal hearing. That means it is likely that the Autumn leaves will not only have fallen by the time a hearing takes place, they will also all have been swept up.
We read today of a group of elderly people who were delayed when visiting a special performance of the Tattoo at Dumfries House recently - because a Strathclyde Police horse box had become stuck in the mud. The Tribunal's a bit like that too. I guess that's what we've come to expect from Strathclyde's Finest !
