After four harrowing years of defending our position, we are pleased that the Employment Tribunal has come to the right decision by dismissing and striking out the entire claim for £673,000 by the Claimant Ms Ramandeep Kaur, against Lord Rami Ranger, Mr Harmeet Ahuja, Sun Mark Ltd, Sea Air and Land Forwarding Ltd.
Judge Hyams, in his Judgment against the Claimant, Ms Ramandeep Kaur (see attachment) has concluded that it was impossible to believe the Claimant had acted in good faith and her conduct in destroying critical evidence ( which included the phone recording covertly made against Lord Ranger, the notebook and the second phone) to the case was “conduct which was in [his] Judgment scandalous, unreasonable, and vexatious, That is to say, that conduct was not just one or more of those things: it was all of them”
The Judge rightly concluded in respect of the destruction of crucial evidence that “Her (Mrs Kaur’s) deliberate destruction of those things, or lying in saying that she had destroyed them, was intended to prevent the respondents and the Tribunal from considering further material which could have affected the outcome of the proceedings in a significant way.” Consistent with the first Tribunal’s findings that the Claimant had “distorted” and “exaggerated” her evidence, this Judge also concluded that, “the Claimant told a deliberate untruth” either about the date or fact of her destruction of evidence.
It is clear from the Judgment that the Claimant’s conduct fell far short of the standard expected. The The Judgment also referred to the destruction of evidence. The Judge concluded that the Claimant kept quiet about the destruction, or “that she had told her solicitor that she had destroyed it and he had then knowingly failed to inform the respondents and her counsel of that fact.”
“We would like to thank our legal team, who have tirelessly worked on robustly defending our position, Ms Sarah Garth and Ms Susan Mckie KC. We hope that the Employment Tribunal’s decision can act as a deterrent to other people who believe that they can abuse our legal system by behaving in a dishonest and scandalous way during the legal process.”
The company, chairman and directors take their responsibilities as an employer very seriously; we consider our company Sun Mark Ltd a family-run enterprise. The last four years have brought an unspeakable toll on The Rangesr and Sun Mark’s family.
