What concerned me was that he didn't show Martin's employment terms. Was he actually responsible for the kitchen? (If so, it seemed a shambles...even dangerous).
Being the nosey person that I am, I thought that martin might sue Ramsay as the latter made him look an idiot.
Yes it does look like Martin is suing Ramsay. The writ (in my view) doesn't seem well drafted, if you go by English legal standards. Whether adequte or not in American law I do not know. I am talking mainly about style. But hillariously, the attorney (Carl Pearson I think) alleges that Ramsay is one of the hardest men in Britain (having recently won a bare knuckle gypsy fight)and a Captain in the SAS. He refers to a website which I looked at. There is a well honed Gordon Ramsay shown in a photograph which is obviously CG'd.
Can anyone shed any light on whether Ramsay is a hardman or not? He looks a bit of a big bully to me who would not take a punch. OK he was an ex footballer.
