JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellant | DR A M RANA THE APPELLANT IN PERSON |
MR JUSTICE BURTON:
"Thus I have not had a fair trial under Article 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the verdict of the Tribunal is unsafe."
The fact that on the face of this letter the Respondent, but presumably he means the Respondent's witness Dr Wood, had committed perjury, is said to put into doubt all of the Respondent's evidence, upon which the Tribunal relied heavily.
(1) The letter of 5 March 2001 from the solicitors did, indeed, state that the Respondent had no record of having advertised for a vacancy.
(2) In relation to 1999 the letter did, indeed, state that three candidates were appointed and only indicated the origin of two of them.
"I do not recall exactly how many applications were received in January 1998, nor do I recall receiving an application from the Applicant in response to that advertisement. One candidate, Dr S was appointed in 1998, although not in response to the advertisement. Dr S had coincidentally written in, in the hope that there might be a vacancy."
