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.
Evidence is completed in B Hutchison and others vs County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. We will shortly be live tweeting the second part of this morning's Submissions.
