The Witnesses
The Witnesses
I heard from four live witnesses: the Claimant, Tom Kershaw, General Counsel and Company Secretary for the Boohoo Group PLC, James Blacklock, Chief Product Officer of the First Defendant, and Tom Binns, Chief Operating Officer of the Sixth Defendant. In my view all the witnesses gave their evidence fairly and truthfully. I comment below on their evidence in context, including on the witnesses who did not appear on behalf of the Defendants.
