Representing in Tribunal……
by Philip
If as a Solicitor you represent yourself in Tribunal proceedings, as the cliche goes, you have a fool for a client.
If you are a part time employment tribunal judge and you represent your spouse in employment tribunal proceedings, are you sufficiently at arms’ length to act professionally and in accordance with the standards of your profession?
This case illustrates, perhaps rather graphically, the mess you can get in if you act for someone who you are close to - including a finding by an employment judge that you have acted, ahem, slightly less than professionally.
