Judge AM Snelson wrote: Lessons should be learned from this sorry saga. We greatly regret that the case was ever brought. At heart, it represents an impermissible attempt to achieve a political end by litigious means. It would be very unfortunate if an exercise of this sort were ever repeated … The Employment Tribunals are a hard-pressed public service and it is not right that their limited resources should be squandered as they have been in this case. Implications Although Friday’s proceedings were a relatively short technical affair, the continuation of the case has important implications. Even though Fraser’s case was so utterly defeated, pro-Israel “lawfare” advocates may still count it as a win if other unions are intimated by the prospect of footing massive legal bills. Conversely, being landed with such a large bill could make pro-Israel activists like Fraser think twice before bringing such a “wholly unsustainable” case to court again.
