Judges have halted the deportation of dozens of detainees on a flight to Jamaica tomorrow. Court of Appeal ruled that many have not had proper access to legal advice.

@RosemarieMallet All the best, Rosemarie!

Wonderful farewell party yesterday. It's sad to go but it was so good to celebrate with parishioners, friends and family how much we have enjoyed our time in #angelltown and #Brixton

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out Because I was not a socialist Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me, and there was no one left To speak for me. #HolocaustMemorialDay 🕊

@ianrajaratnam @didlawUK All the best, Ian! Exciting times for sure.

@DazNewman @JasonBraier @daniel_barnett @EmploymentBar @DstephensonDSC I believe we secured a significant reduction for contributory fault. The discrimination claim got the legal headlines but the dismissal was more important part of case. Not sure I read the original tweet correctly. Sorry!

@DazNewman @JasonBraier @daniel_barnett @EmploymentBar @DstephensonDSC Just to clarify the claimant also had claims for unfair dismissal. Although the law in relation to indirect discrimination was complicated the financial implications were less severe and the Respondent argued that the pleadings had not been clear.

@FloellaBenjamin Thanks @FloellaBenjamin. I appreciate your v kind wishes as well as the DMs/cards which I get from others which always cheer me up! I don’t want to keep embarrassing my poor children, (probably inevitable at my age!)

Susan hope life in 2020 is being kinder to you. I’m sending virtual hugs to comfort you just in case @SusanBelgrave ❤️

A milestone? Congrats @First100years #womeninlaw

@katharinewton There may be others, but I haven’t looked at list thoroughly. Jeo’s boys were surprised that we played football in my living room. I was a bit enthusiastic in handing out red cards!

@katharinewton Congrats to Jeo and to Katherine, Stars of the employment Bar.

I’m absolutely thrilled to have been appointed Queen’s Counsel! Thank you to everyone for all your lovely messages. Let the party planning commence!!

@FloellaBenjamin Thank you, @FloellaBenjamin. Mixed bag so far. Happy 2020 to everyone.

@JasonBraier @daniel_barnett @DazNewman @EmploymentBar @DstephensonDSC Indeed, that involved other issues of unfair dismissal, contrib fault etc

@daniel_barnett @DazNewman @EmploymentBar The closest at EAT level I can recall was Chatwal v Wandsworth about an Amritdhari Sikh who said he couldn’t join the fridge cleaning rota as he couldn’t touch meat and was then banned from using the communal kitchen & claimed indirect discrim. @DstephensonDSC v @SusanBelgrave

@DazNewman @JasonBraier @daniel_barnett @EmploymentBar @DstephensonDSC Sadly not directly involved in litiagtion but @DstephensonDSC prob has finger on the pulse.

This is a very revealing phrase. Yet most of these ‘low-value’ people contribute far more to this country than this arrogant former Tory leader has ever done

@AudreySuffolk Thanks, Audrey! It has been a real tonic catching up with friends old and new over last few days. Going in to 2020

@SusanBelgrave And to you Susan. Appreciate life is tough currently but you have excellent cheerleaders on your side waving their ( metaphorical) Pom poms to distract, entertain and support you as needed

Happy New Year everyone!

@AudreySuffolk @SuffolkLawCen Admirable drive and determination, Audrey! So many are unable to deal with practicalities of implementation and project management.#womeninlaw #WeGetThingsDone.

2010-9 work at same building, same lovely husband & son, live in same house; .... but founded @SuffolkLawCen, which brought legal aid housing & discrimination case work to #Suffolk, plus 50 odd legal volunteers, immigration law caseworkers, family law desk at Ipswich court etc
