Didn’t you understand that’s how it works?

Shows the mentality in the Tribunals. Is it ok for Tribunal Judges to have the opinion that her views were “not worthy of respect in a democratic society”?
Not always possible to have grounds for appeal, no matter how wrong the decision was.
Still took 3 years, a large amount of documentation, a QC and counsel all for 15 days(On: 7 - 11, 14-18, 21-23 March 2022. In Chambers 5 & 7 April 2022) of the hearing. Not everyone could afford all that.
That would imply that no other Employment Tribunal or higher authority had ruled that way before. Only a reported Tribunal decision carries any weight.
If some other business or organisation lost a similar appeal, they might be prepared financially to appeal further up the chain, which could mean the principles would be overturned yet again.
