Debbie Smith, False accuser.. |
Well, we all knew that the ludicrous and ridiculous laws that feminists like Harman introduced into being in England were always going to be a negative when women start taking advantage via their natural greed for money. By their actions they will eventually make it impossible to employ them as the constant threat of false claims would be paramount in the minds of anyone silly enough to employ them..
She's been taught a lesson, big time: Tycoon's joy at £100,000 bill for false accuser
The following comment is rather standard as companies will admit to being whatever the female gold digger accuses them of rather then paying those over the top fees that lawyers are so happy to open their hand for..
Most companies, even when they are in the right, which I would submit tends to be the majority of the time, settle such disputes because of the spiralling cost of fighting them.Exactly, and thereby allow feminists to lie and exaggerate about work conditions and claim that there is "more work to be done", which basically means that not all companies are not run by women and there are still males out there, breathing..
She's been taught a lesson, big time: Tycoon's joy at £100,000 bill for false accuser. A businessman has been awarded record costs of £100,000 against a former employee who made false allegations of sexual harassment. Mr Watts, 62, said: ‘These vexatious spongers have to be taught a lesson. And she has been, big time.
‘Like many others, Debbie Smith no doubt thought she could secure an easy bung. Most companies, even when they are in the right, which I would submit tends to be the majority of the time, settle such disputes because of the spiralling cost of fighting them.‘Not me. I have never taken a backward step in my life. My reputation means everything to me, and I wasn’t having it. I wanted the truth to come out. And it did.’
Mother-of-three Mrs Smith was sacked as the £90,000-a-year managing director of a subsidiary of Pertemps, P Investments, after it lost £250,000. She sued for sexual harassment, sexual discrimination and victimisation. Mr Watts maintained there was no truth in the allegations, which he said were made in ‘pique and anger’ following Mrs Smith’s dismissal, and the claims were branded ‘vexatious and frivolous’ by a Birmingham tribunal in March.It ruled that 50-year-old Mrs Smith had been ‘out to get’ Mr Watts, and said she made her allegations to try to force a payout after the ‘catastrophic’ failure of the subsidiary venture.
Last month the tribunal ordered Mrs Smith to pay P Investments £100,000. Mr Watts had initially claimed £250,000, but settled for less than half that rather than see his accuser go bankrupt.The previous highest costs award is thought to be £67,000.Mr Watts, whose fortune is estimated at £35million, said small firms and charities were ‘groaning under the burden of complying with employment law that encourages employees to misrepresent themselves as victims of discrimination whenever their poor performance or behaviour is tackled’.He added: ‘The Debbie Smiths of this world should never get to the starting block.’
