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?

Outcome were intrinsically linked. The company was clearly not genuinely looking for a solution and it was becoming very obvious that they were trying to win time in the hope that the legal three months time limit to start proceedings at the Employment Tribunal under the Bullying at Work Act would lapse.

322. My reply to Cecilia Malmgren:
Dear Cecilia,
Your e-mails are becoming ever more obtuse and confusing.
On several occasions in the recent past I have listed you the documents and information requested. I have also repeatedly stated that my appeal against unfair dismissal and my appeal against the Bullying Investigation Outcome are intrinsically connected.
Again: the lack of documentary evidence of my rights within the appeals or your continuing refusals to provide them to me, show that the company is not genuinely looking for a solution and it is becoming obvious that you are trying to win time in the hope that the legal time limits will be gone so I can't use legal action.
As I am now convinced that GVC has zero interest in working out an honest solution respecting all my rights, I can confirm that today the forms for the Industrial Tribunal have been filled in.
Regards,
Bart


323. On 30th May 2018 I received an email from Gareth Fieldhouse, legal counsel for GVC according to the footer of the email. All of a sudden I could now do both appeals; bullying and dismissal. My bullying complaints were still minimised as “allegations” and there was no mention at all about my mental health condition caused by the company's inaction to stop the bullying. The appeal for bullying would be heard prior to the dismissal appeal. They simply continued to make up the rules as they went along. The credibility of the appeal process was further undermined and became an even bigger mockery. The breach of the Data Protection Act was brushed under the carpet and the company set a new deadline: “by close of business on Tuesday 5 June 2018”, although the law was very clear and they were already over the twenty-eight days allowed. No trust or confidence was restored at all, only further postponements and empty promises without any genuine
