Dear Ms. Shepherd,
Re: THE QUEEN ON THE APPLICATION OF NAGALRO -v- CAFCASS
We enclose a letter sent today by solicitors
representing NAGALRO to the Treasury Solicitor stating our intention
to make a revised or further application for Judicial Review on the
decision to offer only contracts of employment.
We would invite you to reconsider 'the short and
arbitrary deadline', of 27th July,
which gives little time - 13 days - or less - for those who
have received the contracts in the last day or two - to consider their
position. There is the
basic issue of fairness and, as noted, 'the avoidance of undue
pressure and the public interest in the new service making a start in
an atmosphere of good will.' The
question of a further stay should be left until any decision made by
the Judge on 30 July.
We trust that you and your colleagues will give
full consideration to this invitation to reconsider the time scale for
signing the contract of employment.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Bindman Eva Gregory Christine Grafton
on behalf of the Council and Members of NAGALRO
