Judgmentday

I was intrigued to read Murdo Fraser’s comments on the Forstater judgment (Scotsman, June 16).

He claims that “the High Court judgment is considered, detailed and balanced, and repays close study.”

If Mr Fraser had, in fact, closely studied the judgment he would be aware that it is not one of the English High Court but rather a decision of the Uk-wide Employment Appeal Tribunal and which has no connection to the High Court whatsoever.

The authority of Mr Fraser’s comments should perhaps be seen in this context.
