Rail company Govia Thameslink Railway Limited are facing a claim for "damages for loss suffered by rail passengers travelling on the London-Brighton mainline as a result of pricing and other practices". An application made to the Competition Appeal Tribunal resulted in the publication earlier...

There's some info about the train here: https://cleanair.london/app/uploads/CAL-226-Tunnel-cleaning-train_FOI-EIR-July-2012.pdf "The train was successful at cleaning tunnels but went out of operation due to unreliability and high maintenance and operating costs" "Removed up to 1,000kg of waste...

It's the fallacy of a completely unparticularised prediction. Eg "They'll be a car collision on the M25 tomorrow". Easy to assign in hindsight but so vague as to be completely pointless.

Well they wouldn't just look at that. Certainly most of the judgements from both the criminal and civil courts of appeal are based solely on established case law. If the underlying unfair dismissal could be found to be without merit then the legal principle of 'Clean Hands' would apply and an...

Charming :p That's correct. As is my response - "I suspect that LUL may seek to challenge the validity of the legitimacy of such a dispute by way of an injunction if the underlying issue is devoid of merit." 1620313739 Actually let me rephrase slightly - and I do think this is an interesting...

Well I think we have a lot of common ground actually. Page 5 of your document confirms there needs to be a "trade dispute" to have immunity Page 8 of your document confirms that "Where immunity does not apply, those party to contracts which are broken, or the performance of which is...

The Employment Rights Act does not give Unions jurisdiction to determine matters of fact relating to whether an employee has been fairly dismissed. Only has ET has jurisdiction. The union will only have immunity against damages in the event of a valid "Trade Dispute". I suspect that LUL may...

Section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/18/section/111

The RMT are not complying with the relevant legislation though are they. They are determining culpability based on a vote of their members, rather than the courts. Scrutiny is one of the things that should occur in a free society especially towards a group that has the ability to disrupt an...

The role of an MP is to act in the best interests of their constituents, doesn't mean they shouldn't be scrutinised. The RMT have said "The RMT will use every weapon available to secure the reinstatement of GC." "Every Weapon" Does that sound responsible to you? They picked today as the...

Well indeed. That's why I asked earlier in this thread whether there was any kind of "RMT watch" or scrutiny group going on.

But that's not what you asserted in the first place lol. "Past precedent suggests that many (most?) employers who lose an ET and are ordered to reinstate workers fail to do so." Your link says: "Orders for reinstatement or re-engagement occur in less than 1% of successful unfair dismissal...

Court lists from the magistrates, setting out the names, addresses and charges, can be sent upon request to accredited media. The results of case can also be sent out, and this is what is often printed by local newspapers. As mentioned above the full name, age and line of address is to prevent...

The judgement's conclusion of "The complaint of unfair dismissal is not well-founded and is dismissed." does indeed relate to a different person. I submit the legal principle of crying wolf may apply and readers should rightly be hesitant at accepting all claims of unfair dismissal at the...
