Image The judge found that the centre’s chief executive, Mridul Wadhwa, was behind a “heresy hunt” against Roz Adams who held “gender critical” beliefs, and said that the review “was clearly motivated by a strong belief among senior management and some of the claimant’s colleagues that

Welcome to the second (and final) day of the appeal at Upper Tier Tribunal brought by Clare Page against a decision by the Information Commissioner's Office to uphold an FOI refusal by her child's school and an RHSE external provider.

tribunaltweets.substack.com/p/foi-appeal-t… We expect the hearing to begin at 10.30. We lost remote access for the final half hour or so yesterday so are not quite sure what point was reached; Ms Page's barrister had said earlier in the day that he expected to finish his submissions yesterday afternoon.

WP - in the interest of time, lets skip those paras. Our position is that the Tribunal do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the children must be able to share the slides and discuss with other. These issues were no advanced before
