Racist Hairdresser Sued

[SueEllen]

In this world it's first impressions that count and image it about 90% of that first impression and the impression that a woman who never shows her hair in public is not one that many people would view as favorable for a salon

It makes no difference now as the salon owner has now lost lots of money whether the case goes to a full tribunal hearing or not.

I spoke to someone who runs a small business who also employs non-family members. An ex-employer of theirs submitted an employment tribunal claim and they were told to settle as it was cheaper. Fighting it would cost them approximately £40,000 in solicitors fees if it went to a full hearing. In a tribunal except in rare cases, both sides pay for their own lawyers whether they win or lose.

Sounds like hiring illegal immigrants is a lot cheaper...

So who is picking up the bill for this woman who is suing if she cannot even get a job as a hairdresser? Oh, oh, hang on a minute, let me geuss.

Actually she is likely to be using a no-win no-fee solicitor who wants to make a name for themselves. Most cases that seem to be in the papers have solicitor involvement.

If she wins or more likely settles, the solicitor gets a massive chunk of her compensation. If she takes it to the full hearing and loses the solicitor gets nothing.

What the taxpayer pays for is the administration that goes into trying to get the parties to settle.

Women rarely go in for passing trade. (I'm one so I know.)

I've also gone up to women I seen in the street and asked them where they got their hair done.


Bye I'm off.
