Post-hearing submissions
Post-hearing submissions
I gave permission on 11 April 2025 to the Guardian to file a document identifying factual corrections in respect of the Claimant’s written closing submissions, and to the Claimant to file a response. The Guardian duly filed a “Table of Factual Corrections” on 25 April 2025, to which the Claimant responded on 6 May 2025. On 30 May 2025 the Claimant sought to file further post-hearing submissions. For the reasons given in my order dated 5 June 2025, I permitted that application (and a response from the Defendant) in respect of one paragraph of the Claimant’s “Clarificatory Submissions” by which the Claimant sought to correct a legal submission he had made regarding the definition of harassment. The Guardian’s response was filed on 13 June 2025.
