PC ‘forced out of job after sex discrimination case’

A FORMER police constable was driven out of his job because he gave evidence supporting a senior officer in a sex discrimination case, an industrial tribunal in the North heard yesterday.

Raymond McMichael, 58, from Belfast, is claiming unlawful discrimination, victimisation and constructive dismissal against the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).

He claims he was forced to take early retirement in April 2001 because of disciplinary proceedings arising out of his giving evidence in the case of Chief Inspector Charlotte Cartwright in late 1999/early 2000.
