Jackson Osborne sues The Royal Mint

Jackson Osborne is acting for Sarah Bradley, ex-HR Director at The Royal Mint.  Mrs Bradley is suing The Royal Mint at the Employment Tribunals in Cardiff for disability and sex discrimination after she resigned in June 2022 while suffering the effects of changes in prescriptions of medications for her mental health and for menopause.  Mrs Bradley had had a very successful career of over thirteen years at the Mint.  She was praised by the Chief Executive Officer, Anne Jessopp, for her success, being awarded a significant pay rise by the Board of the Mint only a weeks before her resignation.

Expert psychiatrists, instructed separately by both Mrs Bradley and The Royal Mint in the course of proceedings, each confirmed that the change in medications was likely to have had a significant effect on Mrs Bradley’s decision to resign and that, as part of her condition, she would have been masking the true state of her mental health.  However, when Mrs Bradley asked to rescind her resignation a few weeks later explaining that the medication has caused her to behave irrationally, Mrs Jessopp refused her request.

The hearing is ongoing. The Daily Mail reports more details of the story.
