EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Striking-out/dismissal
After several attempts to agree upon a medical expert to report upon the day to day effects of Claimant’s alleged disability, C failed to attend an appointment he had agreed to go to. He claimed he was not well enough. When ordered to produce evidence of this (eventually by means of an unless order) he did not do so, and his claim stood struck out. He sought to appeal the subsequent refusal of his application for relief from sanction. It was held that the Employment Judge could not be shown to be in error of law.
