    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?

      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.

        Ruining your future employment prospects over something as silly as a farewell card seems like demonstrable self harm to me

            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.
