CMD (Case Management Discussion) Update
Several individual claimants went along to the CMD hearing involving Glasgow City Council - which was held on Monday 2 February 2009.
By all accounts the claimants found it to be a worthwhile and interesting experience.
Not only did they get to meet Carol Fox, the claimants also had time for a discussion with Daphne Romney before proceedings got underway.
Daphne Romney is the leading equal pay barrister who has been engaged by Stefan Cross to present the Glasgow cases - at the forthcoming GMF hearing which has been listed for March 2009.
So, it was a useful exercise all round - the message is clear that these cases are about real people - who are simply seeking justice and the right to equal pay under the law.
And that's a powerful very message - because many claimants have a lifetime of service to their local councils - and the communities they serve.
By attending the CMD, claimants also got to see first-hand the important work that's taking place behind the scenes - to bring all the outstanding cases to a successful conclusion, as quickly as possible.
