A British woman who sued a former employer for neglecting to give her a farewell card lost her lawsuit when it was revealed her colleagues had bought her a card, but no one signed it.
Not familiar at all with UK law, but would it have been within the judge’s power to order a psychometric evaluation and you know possibly like a weeklong hospital stay with continued weekly visits to a psychiatrist?
Nope. Just pointing out that she’s fucked herself long term with this frivolous lawsuit, so not only is she an asshole, she also didn’t think through how bringing this lawsuit would make her look to her future potential employers. That kind of short sighted thinking combined with being an asshole might need some further evaluation.

It usually doesn’t yield any good results to force a person to visit a psychiatrist.
Unless, of course, they are having a psychosis and need to be medicated right now.
Ah yes every obnoxious and self absorbed person or difficult coworker on earth must be mentally ill.
Not every shitty character trait can be fixed like this, or is even worthy of fixing. Sometimes people are just assholes.
That generally requires them to demonstrate or threaten Self-harm
If only we considered verbal and mental abuse to be harm. What am I saying, that’s silly.
Health care has been used as a weapon in the past… and thats not good…
Ruining your future employment prospects over something as silly as a farewell card seems like demonstrable self harm to me
You really want to lock up everyone you think is an asshole?
Nope. Just pointing out that she’s fucked herself long term with this frivolous lawsuit, so not only is she an asshole, she also didn’t think through how bringing this lawsuit would make her look to her future potential employers.
