Peggie’s legal team said the appeal covers the original tribunal ruling, a first correction that rewrote a key passage on how protected characteristics are balanced, and a second round of amendments which altered the wording of several substantive paragraphs.
The original 312-page judgement found in Peggie’s favour on four counts but dismissed her other claims against both the health board and Upton.
It said some of her comments towards the doctor “amounted to an incident of harassment” and breached the health board’s bullying and harassment policy.
Speaking after the ruling in December, Peggie vowed not to give up her legal fight.
At a press conference she said: “Whilst I am delighted that the tribunal was critical of Fife Health Board and found they harassed me, their judgement I believe falls short in many respects and that is why I certainly won’t be giving up this legal fight any time soon.”
Upton no longer works for NHS Fife.
