Some In­dus­tri­al Court Judges have been ac­cused of seek­ing to pro­cure ex­ten­sions in of­fice by de­lay­ing their judg­ments.

The al­le­ga­tion was made by lawyers for trade union ac­tivist and for­mer Oil­field Work­ers’ Trade Union (OW­TU) branch sec­re­tary An­tho­ny Dop­son in a re­quest un­der the Free­dom of In­for­ma­tion Act (FOIA) sent to the court’s pres­i­dent Heather Seale, last week.

In the cor­re­spon­dence ob­tained by Guardian Me­dia, at­tor­ney Aasha Ram­lal, of Free­dom Law Cham­bers, said that Dop­son was con­cerned with the time­ly de­liv­ery of judg­ments by the court.
