Good morning, we are at the Employment Tribunal today for day 1 of Denise Fahmy v Arts Council England (ACE). Denise claims she was victimised and harassed due to her gender critical beliefs.
The alleged detriments occurred after Denise spoke in support of ACE awarding a grant to the LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB
We have been told there will be no remote access to the hearing, observers must attend in person. We have made a formal application for permission to live tweet proceedings. We understand this request will be addressed by the Judge when the hearing starts #OpenJustice
We are reporting for the first time from a Disciplinary Tribunal Panel of the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) this morning at 10am.
The independent panel will hear submissions & decide if the IFoA has the legal right to discipline former member, Patrick Lee.

The substantive issues on freedom of speech relating to complaints about social media posts Patrick Lee made whilst he was an member will not be considered today.
The issue today is whether IFoA Rule 4.4 of the Disciplinary Scheme is invalidated by Bye-Laws 27 (any Rule “contrary to, or different from” the Bye-Laws shall be “invalid"), & 59, which does not refer to former members. 
We are waiting for a decision from the Judge on access to report a freedom of expression and belief case, a criminal conviction appeal, R v David McConnell at Leeds Crown Court today and tomorrow.

Following a disciplinary hearing, the social worker was issued a warning by @SocialWorkEng for “offensive” Facebook posts about Mermaids and “gender identity” policies on her private FB page.
SWE will not defend its position so the hearing has been reduced from 5 to 2 days.
