Skorupski's Law

The employment tribunal judgment

On 19 January 2005 the Employment Tribunals delivered their judgment in the case of Dr Declan Quigley vs The University of St Andrews. Though 78 pages long, the judgment fails to make any reference to the evidence given by those witnesses the author called in his support — bar a single comment, which is used against the author. This is in spite of the fact that these witnesses were in the witness stand for most of two days and produced a great deal of evidence which contradicted the evidence given by the University's witnesses. A great deal of other significant evidence is also missing from the judgment.

Apart from the omission of large amounts of key evidence, the judgment also contains systematic distortion of evidence, invention of evidence, and tendentious and perverse conclusions. To see just why the judgment is intensely problematic, click on A Deeply Flawed Judgment.

The Employment Tribunal Office in Edinburgh declined to produce a version of the judgment on computer file. PDF files of a scanned version of the judgment are available below, either in its entirety or as smaller 3-page files.

The judgment in full is here.
