Hi @duff, and a warm welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear that you've had to go through the tribunal process, and that you felt uncomfortable. Fingers crossed for the outcome you're hoping for, and do keep us updated. -

You only need 8 points in either part for an award.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
