On 28th February Gordon will speak at the Law Society. Details to be confirmed soon. 

Here is a link to an article featuring comments on the suspension of Rachel Booth, a dinner lady from his home town of Preston. Ms Booth attended a ‘March Against Hate’ rally in support of the children killed and injured in the Manchester bombing. 

This was a claim where I represented the employee.

In a complex ‘blackmail’ type case, R v Shah the employee was ordered to pay £20,000 towards our client’s legal costs. The case has now gone to the Civil Courts for enforcement.

An employment tribunal case of mine from back in 2010 illustrates the risks of suspending an employee without being cautious. The employer could have avoided the whole situation with a little more thought and a better understanding of the legal issues.
