the fires of the Inquisition are burning brightly in Wales..... Case number: 6012874/2024 Stefan Halikowski Smith v Swansea Uni: infringement of Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6, Schedule (Clause) 3 Under Article 6, Schedule (Clause) 3 of the Human Rights Act 1998, everyone charged with a criminal offence has the following minimum rights:  (a)    to be informed promptly, in a language which he understands and in detail, of the nature and cause of the accusation against him;  (b)    to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defence; The Swansea University appeals procedure stipulates that staff subject to disciplinary procedures have three weeks to appeal. However as part of an appeal, the defendent must by law be allowed freedom of information to documents concerning him withheld as part of that procedure and because his data is seized. Typically that information is returned only after FOUR WEEKS. The defendent consequently is unable to defend himself as he should be entitled.
