Three more women accuse Judge Philip Lancaster of bullying during employment tribunal hearings.

They say he was belittling and intimidating and made them feel stupid.

One said she felt his behaviour in her case verged on psychological abuse.

The three women all appeared before Judge Lancaster at the employment tribunal in Leeds .

In April BBC News heard allegations from five other women about Judge Lancaster 's behaviour.

Since late last year , proceedings in some tribunals have been recorded but there is also no obligation on the court to release the audio or provide the claimants with a transcript. One of the women who originally complained about Judge Lancaster ’s behaviour, Alison McDermott , believes the judicial system is totally unaccountable. “I’m fed up with this nonsense, the lack of transparency and fairness in a court of law in the UK ,” she said. “The whole system is in urgent need of a comprehensive investigation.”.
