Ingrid Ann Simler of EAT 8^th March 2019. Edited by Mervelee Myers after copying from the Internet for publication on International Women’s Day. On the 96^th birthday of Arnold Ebenezer Dame Tomlinson who was told by a Bank Manager “Mr Tomlinson, you have a small illusion that one day you can develop into a Property Tycoon”, I want the world to see how discrimination is still rife in the UK. Resulting from the fact that some are willing to turn a blind eye to what’s happening under their very nose. Because they are not comfortable with the “personal challenges” of people like Mervelee Myers. In order not to end up doing what my brother did out of frustration when no one is willing to my concerns about the impact of discrimination on my overall emotional health and wellbeing, I will carry on writing at https://fight4justiceadvocacy.business.site. In the hope that even after I am dead, someone will make reference to my story. 

Copied from the Internet 7/3/2019 by Mervelee Myers: Dame Ingrid Ann Simler, DBE, styled The Hon. Mrs Justice Simler, is a judge of the High Court of England and Wales. She was educated at Henrietta Barnett School, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and the University of Amsterdam. She was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1987 and became a QC 2006. Wikipedia

Born: 17 September 1963 (age 55 years). Mervelee Myers Analysis 8/3/2019: Find out more about me at https://www.google.com for why I am writing this and sharing with the world after spending the past 5 years leading up to my 60^th birthday struggling with the discrimination from 2004 which ruined my career and blighted my life. I thought I would die before my 56^th birthday as a result of the discrimination used by  www.leyf.org.uk to trigger my traumas into PTSD (PTSD). I should be resting, but unable to because coming up to Mothering Sunday, I am fighting depression.  If you don’t believe I am a credible witness see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg102uOLUAY because I am a participant in http://www.radar-cns.org/. I am also a participant in www.heal-d.co.uk because of the fact I was diagnosed and gets support from www.diabetes.org.uk and done the www.desmond-project.org.uk programme after diagnosis in 2012.  

Education: Sidney Sussex College, University of Amsterdam

The government recently announced the appointment of seven new Court of Appeal judges, among them Mrs Justice Simler, current president of the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). Mervelee Myers Analysis 8/3/2019: This is the EAT judge who sent my ET case back to the EAT. I am still at a loss to understand why she sent it back after the way she dealt with my complaints against Judge Shanks www.judicialombudsman.gov.uk. It is evident that the Judiciary Of England And Wales is staff by judges who are colluding with employers to deny vulnerable employees our entitlements.  

People Management caught up with her to discuss what the future holds for employment law – and the joys of lunching in the EAT judges’ common room. Mervelee Myers Analysis 8/3/2019: Owing to the fact about my ET and EAT case I would like the world to help me understand how the http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding can get away with presiding over another miscarriages of justice. In light of the fact that the “Protected Characteristics” of my diabetes disabilities was not upheld by the ET and EAT. Despite the Medical Reports of www.healthmanltd.com and the www.desmond-project.org.uk that treated me? I would like for those responsible to look at the impacts of my disabilities on how I am/was able to carry out normal day-to day activities after I was targeted and my disabilities used against me.   

What have been the highlights from your time as president of the EAT?

There have been many; it is a role I will miss enormously when I step down at the end of my three-year term. First, the quality of the advocacy at the employment bar is high, and means a difficult appeal in the EAT is likely to be well argued. This makes hearing complex appeals all the more enjoyable. Arguments can be properly tested and often a clearer route to resolution emerges than might otherwise be the case. Mervelee Myers Analysis 8/3/2019: I will refer you to the reserve judgment https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016 to dispute this argument about how Justice Simler have trivialised an EAT case like mine as enjoyable. I am challenging her that she used my case for her own perversity, the same way Samantha Rochelle Jones of www.7br.co.uk did after I was targeted into having a nervous breakdown using sensitive information from my FILE that was withheld before I transferred from Luton Street LEYF. 

Second, dealing with complex appeals that raise issues of wider importance is challenging and rewarding, particularly where I am able to provide guidance that might assist those in the workplace or tribunals deciding cases at first instance. Cases about payments for sleep-in shifts and about employment statushave been highlights. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: I would like to direct the reader to www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers to find out why recommendation was made to ACAS by Dr Maria Hudson. The Judiciary Of England And Wales is guilty of abusing the power of their authority in not listening to the plight of employees who are not getting support and representations. Refer to the reviews at www.leyf.org.uk whilst my case was at the ET. The ET refused to accept the additional Witness Statement when this evidence came to light during the adjournment.  Am I to conclude then that the guidance Justice Simler is taking about is one like what the ET Judge Hildebrand tried using to tie me to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) of £58,000.00? And how the ET acted unprofessionally to use my disabilities to confuse me to accept.   

Third, the EAT is highly efficient. It has one of the best-run case management and progression systems I have experienced, despite being still largely paper based (rather than digital – though that will change). Staff are experienced and knowledgeable through long service and hard work, so appeal bundles are properly prepared and made available to judges well in advance. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: I am challenging this argument of highly efficient to be a big lie. As big a lie as Judge Free saying there were no other Medical Reports. After I handed him copies from my bundle at the ET to be place in the Respondent bundle. I am therefore referring readers to data.access@justice.gsi.gov.uk about why the ET concealed documents. And refused to act on concerns raised about the non-compliance of Judge Baron Court Management Order of 15^th March 2016. And even of greater importance that of Judge Elliott of 8^th June 2016. For me to provide Medical Reports. The Medical Reports which I handed to Judge Freer at the ET because they were deliberately left out of my ET bundle to confuse me. Once again using my vulnerability of having disability, physical and mental against me. But Judge Freer can lie in the reserve judgment about there were no other Medical Reports. And now the EAT claiming they deal with the fact.   

Finally, there is a strong sense of collegiality among the judges who sit at the EAT. A sandwich lunch in the judges’ common room is a good place to find out what is happening elsewhere in the justice system, share war stories or simply unwind after a difficult morning. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: I find this statement very offensive after Judge Shanks claims at the EAT on the 19^th November 2018 that I made up my disabilities. In the presence of my husband for whom I am his carer. But most times he is the one caring for me as can be ascertained from www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark. As offensive as the EAT bringing a black man to sit on the Panel because my Racism claims was strike out repeatedly by Judge Martin. Maybe the judges need to take more times looking at the glaring evidence in my Witness Statement and the ET bundles to see how LEYF breached the Equality Act 2010 “Protected Characteristics”, by not adhering to the Rule of Law. There was no reviewing or updating of the contract I signed. I was expected to have a Hypo on the job and subject children to experiences of developing traumas like I did because of my unfortunate childhood of illnesses, disabilities and death. Maybe I should refer to the www.express.co.uk that I have contributed to the Mental Health CRUSADE at express@letters.co.uk for years.  

What do you think are some of the biggest challenges for employment lawyers going forward?

Digitalisation of the court and tribunal service; and Brexit. But I have great faith in employment lawyers who are versatile and flexible. I predict they will continue to go from strength to strength. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: I am challenging this on the grounds that this is the second time the ET presided over the miscarriage of justice that ruined my career and destroyed my life. Employment Lawyers who I have the misfortune to deal with are criminals without any scruples. After the Subject Access Request – Data Protection Act – 117119. I have been directed to https://www.gov/government/publications/record-retention-and-disposition-schedules. Because the Employment Tribunal at London South no longer holds the personal data in respect of my case against Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. What does that say about the Windrush Generation stories and what the Jewish Bank Manager said to my husband all those years ago? The EAT refused to give me back documents I ask for. In my vulnerable state I prepared and submitted 6 sets of documents in 2 bundles. But I have yet to receive the documents I requested. That’s on top of LEYF saying they have no data for me after withholding my FILE. The ET take 5 months to copy and paste the Respondent Summary and post online making me a target for terrorists like www.peachespublications.co.uk who I am taking to the Small Claims Court. She in turn introduce me to https://www.ryanclement.com/. I am waiting on the judgement from the www.sra.org.uk that claim it’s okay for www.bwbllp.com to breach the Equality Act 2010 and use my vulnerability against me. Mr John Fenton of www.personalconsultancy.com can get away with pretending to be a solicitor to exploit me as well. The ET was notified of my concerns from I meet Mr Fenton on the 15/3/2016.

What drew you to employment as an area of law?

Employment law combines human interest with an ever-expanding domestic statutory law base, overlaid by the common law, and by judgments and directives from Europe. This fast-changing area often gives rise to difficult legal questions that matter to many people, and mattered to me. After one’s family and home, a person’s employment is usually the most important thing in her life. The introduction of the Human Rights Act in 1998 gave rise to additional interest and difficulty. It has presented challenging cases requiring a difficult balance to be struck between, for example, the rights to freedom of religious belief/manifestation for one group and those to freedom from unlawful discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation for another group; and particularly difficult issues around the balance between open justice and freedom of expression, and privacy in cases of sexual misconduct.

Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: Justice Ingrid Ann Simler should be ashamed of herself is all I am saying at this time. For the way she has joined in to cover up the blatant breaching of the International law, legislation, codes of practices and conducts. Resulting in me living on the edge of becoming a statistic of 1 in 5 of all suicides are associated with unemployment in www.hctgroup.org. The way I was brought up is the only thing between me making the decision to continue suffering the indignities of having my entitlements taken away after the death of my mother. Senior HR Dilys Epton Meeting Report of 27/3/2015 stated that I told her about my traumas. Not only that on the eve of Mothering Sunday 14/3/2015 I wrote to her about my concerns of the ill-treatment at BIB. I was sent to HOC to be colonised and https://petition.parliament.uk/help#standards state what is in the reserved judgment. I am participant in research www.heal-d.co.uk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg102uOLUAY. The ET should have added Ageism, Beliefs to the case instead of striking out the Racism claims. Most days to save myself from going out for the 20-30 minutes’ walk down to BIB and doing what my brother did. I have to try overcoming my fears and sit writing https://mervelee.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/? How dare Justice Simler leave me to be a prisoner unable to function and carry out day-today activities. Because the 26+ years that were destroyed keeps going round in my head.         

How have tribunals changed since the Supreme Court ruled in favour of abolishing tribunal fees last year?

The system has not changed but the profile of cases being brought to employment tribunals has changed dramatically. Whereas before the Unison case, small claims for unpaid wages or redundancy pay (or similar) were not being brought because of the chilling effect of fees, these cases are now on the increase again. Claims more generally have increased in number and are running at an annual rate approaching 100,000 claims a year. The number of appeals is also increasing, though there is an inevitable time lag. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: Suffice it to say once more here is evidence of how there is one rule for me and another for someone that can pay to help www.leyf.org.uk get away with the discrimination ruining lives and destroying families. Because http://unison.org.uk/ was responsible for colluding with the NHS to ruin my career. This time its www.voicetheunion.org.uk taking fee after I have not worked since resigning with a nervous breakdown. That’s why Judge Hildebrand tried to tie me to an NDA. After the ET tried tricking me about the Telephone Conciliation. 

Tribunals are putting additional resource in place to deal with the increase, but that will take some time. That is likely to mean some delay in getting a hearing date, especially in multiday cases. Mervelee Myers Analysis 2019: Maybe this is why the ET took 5 months to copy and paste the Respondent’s Summary? By the way did any underhand dealings take place with www.leyf.org.uk and the Employment Tribunal? Considering the fact that the ET adjourned the case when Samantha Rochelle Jones of www.7br.co.uk came to court without preparing a case. Then pulled a sickie, manufacturing a contagious disease overnight to buy time, I am left with no other alternatives than to assume there was bribery. What role did the ET judges have in this? Then at the EAT Samantha Jones was allowed to continue perverting the course of justice. And judge Shanks saying I made up my disabilities. My question to Justice Simler, since the ET and EAT claiming they deal with the fact, what grounds did she send back my case to the EAT under?

Suspending Employees

 7 MAR 2019

When may an employer suspend an employee?

9 March 2019 Mervelee Myers Summary of Justice Ingrid Ann Simler.  From my own experiences of been in the presence of Justice Simler, to argue my case. I would say she is not living in the real world and knowing what’s happening to real people like Mervelee Myers. Considering that she was born in South Africa I am assuming she was one of the privileged. And not someone like me who experienced traumas resulting from the natural causes, some of which were due to my DNA. Whilst others were due to bigots and evil persons who did not think of the consequences of their actions on the lives of people like me.

That’s why I am sending readers to www.leyf.org.uk to read the reviews about the Modern Slavery practices that are thriving in the UK. And which www.judicialombudsman.gov.uk is happy to cover up because of the decisions made by Justice Simler. Let me direct readers to https://petition.parliament.uk/help#standards 31/10/2017 “It included confidential, libellous, false or defamatory information, or a reference to a case which is active in the UK courts”. “It’s marked confidential as not clear what action you’d like the Government or Parliament to take”? Is it any wonder that the country is in such a turmoil with Justice Simler not able to act like a professional in matters to do with the life of a vulnerable employers who was targeted by the terrorist cell at LEYF after the death of my mother from dementia? And why I have become Cancer Research UK Race for Life www.cruk.org. Fundraiser after the death of my brother. When l have the first nervous breakdown in a toxic workplace in the UK.

To where I am representing at https://www.google.com sharing my lived experiences to help others from I joined https://www.facebook.com/public/Mervelee-Myers in 2010. Let the Judiciary Of England And Wales explain why they are neglecting their duty of care to employees in favour of employers that are hell-bent in treating employees like me to the treatment of the Children of Israel travelling in the Wilderness for 40 years. I have been on this journey since the 23^rd July 2014. Why is Justice Simler making herself my jailer and treating me like a criminal. Does this have anything to do   with https://fight4justiceadvocacy.business.site and the fact I refuse to be voiceless vulnerable victim?
