Afternoon session begins.
AM - you didn't complain about SM immediately after the Teams meeting because you were worried about consequences. The first part of your response - you are quite robust, you tick him, one side of the argument, didn't foster a good environment,
AM - thats not a person who is afraid to express views.
DF - it was robust but it was my pride speaking. I did feel that I couldn't at that point raise an objection to how he behaved because I wouldn't have been supported.
AM - but you did raise an objection to his behaviour.

Good afternoon; we will be tweeting the afternoon session in the case at Employment Appeal Tribunal of Kristie Higgs v Farmor School.
@threadreaderapp J: I'm not going to give a judgement at this point as will take up time, but will allow recusal of laymember. Summarise that laymember at the time was a senior member of org that campaigned on issues opposed by A.@threadreaderapp J: He is inevitably associated with views expressed on opposite side of A. He was partic association taken partic interest campaigning in that respect. Difficult to see how general secretary could be disassociated from those views. Could be real possibility of unconscious bias.
