Do I settle or .......
Submitted by May on May 17, 2012 - 22:33
....hope for some justice despite the odds? My tribunal is imminent and I have been offered a pittance as a settlement. The issue for me is that those responsible for the harassment and discrimination will get away with their actions regardless. I feel beaten down by them and their lies.....I have almost zero hope of a court seeing through their clever lies and how the parties have colluded to protect themselves. I ask myself what is the point? My claim will not change the inherant sexist culture of the Company I used to work for. I am emotionally and mentally wrecked, have used all my savings in legal fees and still have no job. I don't want to settle but the practical issue of paying my mortgage is all I can think of right now. I know I am not the only person to experience this, and I do consider myself a fighter, so why do I want to give up?

What happened
Apologies May, I didn't see your blog until today. What happened? Did you settle or proceed to court. I am having the same doubts and feelings. My view is that I have vested so much in legal fees and spent so much emotion that I will see it through to the end. I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't go through with it. The respondents offer was a pittance and I note as the case gets nearer the nastier it gets.
However the financial aspect is significant and cannot be overlooked as a driver to settle. Do you have support?
