The accused insist the proceedings are part of an opposition-fueled conspiracy.
Focus of the day story: Employment tribunals are failing to hit basic targets and judges are departing without being replaced, users have revealed. Minutes of the National User Group Meeting on employment tribunals report that tribunals are falling short of targets for completing and disposing of claims. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
