More evidence that KS Hotels Ltd t/a Holiday Inn Express Leigh – Sports Village deliberately gave false information to a Court of Law and tampered with evidence!

The last post showed how KS Hotels Ltd t/a Holiday Inn Express Leigh – Sports Village deliberately gave false information to a Court of Law and tampered with evidence in relation to a previous warning.

This posts shows how KS Hotels Ltd deliberately gave false information to a Court of Law and tampered with evidence in relation to the Disciplinary Appeal Officer's (Mr Krohn) impartiality in conducting an appeal hearing.

At the Employment Tribunal KS Hotels Ltd told the Judge that Mr Krohn's involvement with the disciplinary process was at appeal stage. They maintained this stance to convince the Judge that Mr Krohn was impartial and unbiased when upholding the sanctions. The Judge took KS Hotels Ltd at their word.

An appeal hearing was held by Mr Krohn on 25th November 2014. This appeal was in relation to the disciplinary hearing held on 7th November 2014 (see previous post). For Mr Krohn to have remained impartial and unbiased, he would only have become involved in the disciplinary process after the 7th November 2014 when an appeal application was made.

You will see from the below email that Mr Krohn became involved with the disciplinary process on 22 October 2014; which was 16 days before the disciplinary hearing had taken place and before any application was made to appeal. Not only was Mr Krohn involved early on in the process, the email indicates a discussion had taken place where Mr Krohn had raised suspending the employee for Gross Misconduct but was advised not to do that. Gross Misconduct carried the sanction of dismissal which shows that Mr Krohn was looking to dismiss the employee prior to any disciplinary hearing taking place. This was a clear sign that Mr Krohn was already bias against the employee and could not be impartial should an appeal hearing take place.

Therefore, when KS Hotels Ltd t/a Holiday Inn Express Leigh – Sports Village maintained that Mr Krohn got involved in the disciplinary process at appeal stage so he could remain impartial and unbiased, they knowingly gave false information to the Court because they knew Mr Krohn was involved long before an appeal application had been made and that he wanted the sanction to be Gross Misconduct. As with the previous email, KS Hotels Ltd also removed the below email from the Court evidence bundle so the Judge wouldn't see it. Again this shows they knew how damaging that piece of evidence was to them.
