Broadcaster finds Tribunal "stressful"

Miriam O'Reilly, a onetime presenter of the Countryfile programme on BBC TV,  said she had endured "an incredibly stressful 14 months" since launching a claim at an Employment Tribunal. (related BBC News story)


Yesterday Miriam received the outcome of her claim in which she had successfully argued that she had been a victim of ageism and of victimisation.


If Miriam found 14 months "incredibly stressful", spare a thought for Robin Dixon and Graeme McCullie who have been in Tribunal, not for months but for years. 


But after enduring years of Tribunal preliminaries the two men will, at long last, have a chance to have the merits of their cases heard at an Employment Tribunal hearing commencing in Glasgow on Monday 17th January 2011.

Tribunal in the offing

It may have been 2009 since the last posting on this site but the Tribunal involving Robin Dixon and Graeme McCullie v Strathclyde Police remains ongoing.

There has been some business relating to this tribunal in the period since our last posting but it has been generally "behind the scenes" and very very slow moving.

What we are able to report is that the full Tribunal Hearing is scheduled to commence later this month, January 2011, with 10 days allocated for the hearing.

Hopefully this will bring the direct and indirect matters relating to the subject matter of the Hearing to a head.
