Employment & Discrimination
Imogen is committed to her employment law practice. She has advised and represented clients in: unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, whistleblowing, equal pay, redundancy, and discrimination claims. She takes on cases for both claimants and respondents and regularly deals with multi-day claims against more senior counsel.
Through the Bar Pro Bono Unit, FRU, and ELAAS, Imogen has represented Applicants in the EAT in Rule 3(10) and Appeal hearings, dealing with complex questions of perceived bias (Kidd v Commissioner of the Police of the Metropolis UKEAT/0191/17/RN) and the procedure to be followed by a tribunal where no response to an employer’s contract claim has been received (Limoine v Sharma UKEAT/0094/19/RN).
She also assisted Naomi Ling in the EAT hearing of Crawford v Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd UKEAT/0316/16 (overturned by the Court of Appeal: [2019] EWCA Civ 269, CA).
