To avoid Gove s fate, ROF has signed a summary of this story.
A lawyer who specialises in Covid-related claims has defeated the government after his deaf client sued Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove.
Chris Fry, of Fry Law, acted for Katie Rowley after she complained that two of the government s briefings, on 21 September and 12 October 2020, were not accompanied by on-screen interpreters.
Rowley said the omission left her stressed and affected her wellbeing, and that she was unable to use subtitles because she has dyslexia. I am a slow reader, so that means when I was reading the subtitles, I would miss so much information and [it] would just mess up my head. It would be so difficult - it became impossible , she told the BBC.
