Skorupski's Law

Final Submissions

The final submissions to the employment tribunal made by the author of these web pages are contained in three files:

2. Conclusions to be drawn from the facts

3. Conclusions to be drawn from legal precedent

The reader may also wish to look at the final submissions made by the University to the employment tribunal to see how they summarised their case. The University's submissions are riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations, as can be seen in a response to the Universitiy's final submissions submitted by the author to the employment tribunal, the opening paragraph of which reads as follows:

"It is submitted that the final submissions of the Respondents [i.e the University] are, again and again, mendacious and misleading. Evidence has been distorted and taken out of context; new claims which were never presented in the Tribunal have been inserted as evidence; interpretations which clearly do not flow from the evidence have been put forward as if they were themselves matters of fact; attempts have frequently been made to bolster these interpretations with unsupported speculation; false inferences have been made from case law; and, when all this has appeared weak, the Respondents have resorted to innuendo and crass gratuitous and personal abuse of the Applicant. Some of this is relatively trivial, some is not; but what it demonstrates is that the Respondents are incapable of relying on the evidence alone, whether the detail or the broad strokes, to present their case. Instead they repeatedly resort to any underhand device they can think of to 'support' their argument."
