Is there still Rule of Law in Gibraltar?                          Is there corruption in the local police?

             Are employees' Human Rights protected?                          Is there a mafia in Gibraltar?

                        How corrupt are the Courts in Gibraltar?                                        Is Entain a bad employer?

I also notice the usual intimidating set up of that proposed meeting: three of GVC while I will be alone. I apparently am allowed to bring a colleague, with which you must mean ex-colleague as you seem to forget you have sacked me. I do not intend to bring an ex-colleague to any meeting as this person could be easily manipulated or put under pressure by the company that employs him. That would actually make it four against one. I can assure you that I wish to be accompanied at such a meeting by my lawyers, a representative of a Union, a representative of the ETB, a representative of the Dignity at Work Group, a representative of the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority and other relevant parties.
The lack of documentary evidence of my rights within the appeal also shows (again) that rules are made up as they're written. It is pretty obvious that you pick and choose which things can be discussed during this proposed meeting and which can't. No surprises here that none of my valid points are part of your list. It becomes very clear that you have already doctored the outcome of the proposed meeting and the decision has already been made long before the meeting is to start. There is clearly no need for me to attend such a meeting, that would be a total waste of time. I repeat that you can discuss my written points and arguments from the last twelve months and with that I mean ALL of them, not just the ones that you find convenient.
You write that the appeal decision is final and I have no further right of review. I think that statement is entirely wrong as the final decision in this case will be made by the Industrial Tribunal, not by the GVC management.

319. That same day 23rd May 2018 Cecilia Malmgren replied to my email. Now she claimed that she had no idea which documents I requested under the Data Protection Act, which was a clear lie. She also stated that she would only hand over the requested documents if they were of relevance for the appeal of my dismissal. The handing over of documents was conditional and to be decided by GVC/bwin, another fobbing off effort and breaching the Data Protection Act to sabotage my appeal. The rules had changed again, making them up as they went along, as now I could bring a person of my choice, but I was informed that that was an exception. No documentary evidence was presented in which the procedures were explained. They only accepted to deal with my dismissal appeal and
