Ms Peggie is suing Dr Upton and NHS Fife after she was suspended for bullying and harassment. This was due to an incident over the presence of trans Dr Upton in the female changing rooms on Christmas Eve 2023.
On Tuesday the tribunal heard how Dr Searle deemed what had happened was a hate incident and potentially reportable as a hate crime to the police. Ms Peggie’s lawyers also accused her of deliberately withholding information from the tribunal.
She will be further cross-examined by Ms Peggie’s lawyer Naomi Cunningham and then re-examined by NHS Fife’s lawyer Jane Russell KC today.
