An article from The Daily Telegraph which says much about the last 30 years.
It appears from the article that this is a woman, involved in a scheme provided by the Royal College of Surgeons, as a 'mentor for women doctors' i.e. supporting other women in sought after jobs. After some disagreements, she found she could not work with another person. She sued the Hospital Trust and obtained �300,000 in an out of court settlement.
She gets this vast sum of money without working for it, when she could presumably, in her profession, readily have found herself another job.
And how many people have disagreements with working colleagues, but just get on with the job ? Many we believe. But in the case of a woman, if she says that she can't work with another person, she obtains compensation. Not just a small amount, but an amount that most people would consider a fortune.

Comment : Can you imagine a man being treated the same way ? Who controls the employment/industrial tribunals ?
