WELCOME TO MY CASE FILES
LYMAN WUCHAO YUAN, PH.D.
I worked as a postdoctoral research assistant with a 5-year contract of employment at School of Crystallography, Birkbeck College, University of London for three months from 6 Novemebr 2002 to 7 February 2003.
My contract of employment was terminated on a major ground of my complaint to the employer at the college on malpractice at work in accordance with the college's documents regarding the termination. Briefly, the school leader tried to conceal the malpractice done by the researchers in his supervised lab by trying to punish the victim who made the complaint, and then the college Personnel Manager pleased the school leader�s wish to terminate my contract without informing her Director and even the Dean as the college requires for such termination.
The college failed to resolve this employment problem under my several informal attempts. When I made three complaints at the Employment Tribunals (ET) on Breach of Contract, Race Discrimination, and Unfair Dismissal under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, the college further successfully made campaigns to affect my legal battle by several approaches: (1) to block my seeking for legal help, especially during the proceedings at ET and in the initial stage of my appeal at the Employment Appeal Tribunals (EAT) when I had no knowledge of law and no experience in conducting at the courts; (2) to interfere my conducting the cases during proceedings at different courts; (3) to influence both judicial personnel and service staff at different courts.
The means they used to archive the goal were inappropriate and even illegal, such as tapping telephone, manipulating my mobile, stealing posts, unauthorized access to information in my computers, controlling and abusing my email accounts, abusing public security CCTV system, influencing others by invitation to dinner... They conducted these either by themselves, through employees of relevant organizations, my neighbors or housemates, and especially by using some solicitors whom I had asked for help previously.
Under such situations, my employment problems have never been able to be resolved at the different domestic courts, even in the conditions that the college had failed to resist my appeal and I was represented by an experienced barrister during my appeal at the EAT. As directed by the Judicial Office at the House of Lords, two of my cases in relation to public interest disclosure and then breach of contract have been brought to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) since August 2004.
Both applications of the cases at the ECHR were written in accordance with the court's requirements. The application in relation to breach of contract covers nearly all respects of my employment matter and was written when I had gained a lot of experiences regarding my legal cases at different courts. Therefore, it is better for you to start knowing my cases with the application_boc.
The college administration has made a change this year and dealt with my case differently as described in my latter application. But few individuals, who were in relation to the inappropriate handling of my legal case previously and the cause of my current situation, have engineered current campaign to block my sending the application and the related report to ECHR since June 2005. They also used similar ways to try to interfere my current attempts to resolve such problem by using a fabricated and personal-attacking reason for the termination of my employment at the college and my current situation in order to conceal their wrong doing regarding the matters. In addition, it is not necessary for me to hire a solicitor to send well-prepared applications and reports to ECHR at this stage. I do need help later from lawyer, but mainly barrister who can speak for me before the judges. I may also need another legal help when finalizing the next (and last) report to ECHR that contains some more personal but important issues and is difficult to argue to the court by myself..
1 December 2005, communication with ECHR: a letter and a Special Notice to the court.
