   Evidence was received from the Applicant in person, and on her behalf from Mr Terry Collins who was a member of Ms Stansfield's staff who applied for and was appointed to the post of design manager. He then sat on the interview panel which selected the design assistant.
   ...
   The only applicants for the post were Terry Collins and Nikola Bryce, who were already working for Ms Stansfield in Publications.
   ...
   Miss Easton assured both Ms Stansfield and Mr Collins that Ms Bryce's grievance was not the reason for the postponement.
   ...
   (xi) Following his interview on 24 August Terry Collins was appointed to the post of Design Manager.
   ...
   Mr McAuslan had informed Ms Stansfield that the interview panel for the design assistant post would be herself, as head of the department, Mr Collins as the design manager and someone from Personnel.
   ...
   (xii) Ms Stansfield and Mr Collins worked hard to come up with a short list of nine candidates based on the criteria that had been discussed.
   ...
   When I came back from leave, I found that a short list of nine (out of seventeen) had been draw up by yourself and Terry Collins, only. This, I understand was because of Terry's imminent jury service.
   
   However, there had been no Personnel representative involved. As I was to be part of the interviewing panel, I then reviewed all of the candidates from this "long list" of seventeen. I selected ten candidates for further consideration....
   ...
   I also reviewed the composition of the panel in the light of the appointment the week before of the immediate line manager - Terry. In view of his involvement it was not then possible to include you. In practicable terms it was going to be difficult to find a free independent person at such short notice.
   ...
   (xiv) On 6 October Terry Collins wrote to Barry Reamsbottom to complain about the manner in which the design assistant post interviews had been organised by Joan Easton, and Ms Stansfield also wrote to Mr Reamsbottom raising a formal grievance against her.
   ...
   Ms Bryce had a meeting with Mr Collins on 9 November which according to Ms Bryce was not productive.
   ...
   The complaints could equally be, and in fact were, made by Terry Collins in relation to the grievance against him and there is no question of less favourable treatment of the Applicant when compared to Terry Collins. Finally, he observed that Ms Stansfield had never suggested to Joan Easton that she believed she had been subjected to sex discrimination and that the complaints which Ms Stansfield made to Mr Reamsbottom contained no such allegation, even though that memorandum was sent only a matter of two weeks before Ms Stansfield lodged her first complaint with the Tribunal.
   
   ...
   Secondly, and coincidentally, Ms Bryce sent a long memo to Joan Easton on 7 December raising additional complaints, mainly against Terry Collins but also mentioning Ms Stansfield.
