Scottish Legal Awards


Great news for all Action 4 Equality Scotland (A4ES) clients.

Last week our friends in Fox and Partners Solicitors swept the boards at the Scottish Legal Awards last week - winning Employment Team of the Year and Specialist Lawyer of the Year in Carol Fox.

So many congratulations to Carol - and all the other staff at Fox and Partners.

As regular readers will recall, A4ES first arrived on the scene back in 2005 and - at that time - equal pay was dead in the water.

No claims were being raised against council employers - inside or outside the Employment Tribunal process - and there were no strikes, national demonstrations or big campaigns.

All was calm - and the trade unions were as quiet as little church mice.

Then, all of a sudden, low paid workers had another choice - of pursuing an equal pay claim on a 'No Win No Fee' basis with A4ES.

Which many people started to do, after being having been kept deliberately in the dark for so long - by both the council employers and the trade unions.

And now all the work done by Fox and Partners - including the support provided to A4ES clients in the Employment Tribunals - has been recognised by the Scottish legal profession.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
