Hi I just wanted your guy’s opinion on a short skeleton argument I’ve written about JR; procedural impropriety. The question limited be to 750 words over 3 other grounds, and I was specifically instructed to focus on this area alone and not expand into other areas or breach’s. With that mind please let me know what you guy’s think.
Question: (Cut and shortened to only include relevant Information regarding to this part)
Burns Finch Steel Ltd otherwise known as ‘BFS’, a pharmaceutical company was initially licensed by Southwark Council, a local authority (otherwise known as ‘the Council’), for twelve months to undertake the necessary research to develop vaccines. Upon the expiry of the twelve-month period, BFS’s application for a renewal of its licence was refused, without the Council giving BFS prior- warning that the Council intended to refuse it.
Please advise the representative in writing whether BFS can make a claim for judicial review on the following grounds only:
- Procedural impropriety on the basis that the representative was not given the opportunity to make written representations on behalf of BFS to the Council prior to the Council refusing to renew BFS’s licence.
Answer: (Minus Footnotes) [I was given a specific structure to follow as well, so that’s the reason I end up repeating facts, etc]
Ground C: Procedural Impropriety:
Upon expiry of the twelve-month period, BFS’s application for a renewal of its licence was refused, without the council giving BFS prior warning that the Council intended to refuse it, hence BFS was not given the opportunity make a written representation rebutting the reasons for refusal, to the council prior to the council refusing to renew the license. Common Law / Natural Justice requires, to ensure that decisions are made fairly, that the right to be heard (to hear the other side) is adhered to in all cases including in administrative cases. This is because without listening to both sides a decision maker cannot fairly decide on case.The Right to be heard is to allow the other side to propose a defence/ to make representations to rebut any allegations prior to a decision being made. In this case, BFS did not have the opportunity to make a written representation to rebut the reasons given for the refusal to renew the licence, hence they were not heard. Therefore Southwark Council, by not giving that opportunity; breached this aspect of Natural justice; the right to be heard, so their decision is void. I

Her defense is the typical mealy-mouthed corporate bullshit, including that she "demands results" and hired a workplace consultant.
For starters, I have no inside information here. I've just read the public statements and side with workers. I've added some highlights to the quotes below.
Here's some more info:
Glassdoor reviews, dating back to 2017, all talk about the CEO's behavior:
> The Founder doesnt play well with staff. She micromanaged and talked down to staff and talked about you to others.
> I was actually a volunteer but observed a ton of turn-over within the staff. The founder, Kimberly, is not receptive to feedback. She's a micromanager who had a great idea but is not great at execution and has no idea how to scale the organization.
> Kimberly Bryant is easily the worst example of "leadership" I've ever witnessed. She is petty, arrogant, selfish, condescending, and lacks even the basic skills to lead a team. She makes a ton of mistakes that have negatively impacted the org and relationships with partners, but instead of rectifying it or apologizing she throws someone on her team under the bus and tells them that they aren't performing at the level she expects. She has single handedly created an extremely toxic and difficult work environment and refuses to take any accountability for her behavior. When someone on the staff dares give her any push back, feedback, or critique that she doesn't like she ostracizes and bullies them until they are forced to leave.
> Personally speaking, I was ridiculed, publicly shamed, and belittled almost every single day. Aside from this daily abuse, the organization does not function in the way Kimberly Bryant claims it does. Kimberly has created a chaotic, toxic environment for a staff that works so tirelessly to bring her vision to fruition. She embodies what every leader should strive not to be. She is cruel. She is demeaning. She is damaging. She has caused so much emotional trauma for past and current staff (including myself).
