What was the EAT hearing about in 27 February
Before you can have a full appeal hearing at the Employment Appeal Tribunal you must obtain permission to appeal by showing your appeal has reasonable grounds.
We are appealing 2 Judgments from a London South Employment Tribunal chaired by Judge Anne Martin
- The decision to throw out my whistleblowing case after the June 2022 hearing (“the Main Appeal”)
2.The decision to refuse our application to have the BMA’s legal costs returned to them on account of the multiple acts of concealment and destruction of evidence by Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. These acts clearly prolonged the hearing and wasted BMA legal fees but are ignored in the cost Judgment. (“the Cost Appeal”)
Result of the 27 Feb Hearing
The 2 cost grounds have been allowed to progress to full hearing
Ground 2,3,5,7 have been allowed to progress
Ground 1,4,6,8 have been thrown out
Articles explaining the appeal
I have written an article to explain our appeals which can be read or downloaded here. What follows below are the actual legal papers which as always I make available to my supporters.

To fully understand our cost appeal, it is helpful to read our application for costs to Judge Martin, the NHS Trust’s response and our response to that (which was ignored by Judge Martin).

Dr Day’s Ben Cooper KC Statement
To understand the procedural unfairness of the Judge rescuing Ben Cooper KC by halting his cross examination by Andrew Allen KC on my supplementary statement you have to read my statement and how it defends me from serious allegations made against me by Ben Cooper. After preventing us further testing’s Ben Cooper KC’s position after forcing him to change his statement in material ways, the Judge to insert Cooper’s untested assertions into the Judgment with no mention of the halting of our cross examination or the concessions won from Ben Cooper. The trial transcript records the Judge promising not to do this as justification for her rescue of Ben Cooper from cross examination.
Andrew Allen KC’s Proposed cross examination of the NHS Director that destroyed 90,000 emails and then failed to show up in court for cross examination. The Judge ignored all of this content that would have been put to this important witness. It was this Director that drafted the briefing statements that we say misled the press, the public and a number of local MPs and stakeholders.
