Judge Smith asked the counsel to address the grounds of appeal when Kevin Lister's application to appeal the DBS barring decision when we return at 2pm.
We are reporting from the Upper Tribunal where Kevin Lister (KL) is appealing his prohibition from working with children in any regulated activity.
KL was referred to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) by his employer, a further and higher education establishment, in January 2023.
The DBS referral followed his dismissal by the employer for misconduct. KL was unsuccessful in his claim for unfair dismissal and is separately appealing the employment tribunal decision on indirect discrimination.

Good afternoon; this is the final day of public hearings in the case of Ms B Hutchinson & others vs Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust at employment tribunal.
NF: Not quite what I meant. If single-sex communal Art8 *might* be engaged; but if it's mixed sex, a woman might encounter a man, that is a much greater effect on Art 8.
NF: Reg 24 - propriety - we say yes, is engaged because changing is to underwear. It might not if it was only re changing coats.
NF: Re Rose Art8 rights - RH always had choice to ask for a private changing space, and we heard from Ms Bailey that Trust had done that in a similar siguation in the past.
