I agree that appeal rights should have been put in place before now, but that is not the point. Paterson argued this in his particular case.

If an employee complained about such an injustice and the employer did nothing about it, the employment tribunal would find against the employer.

The trouble is, this is so party political, no-one can see beyond their own prejudices.

The only people who made it party political was the Government who tried to make retrospective legislation to let one of their own off.

You surely don't need me to tell how you how dangerous such a precedent that would have set?
