Practice and Procedure – Disclosure
The Appellant claims discrimination and victimisation against the Prison Service. As to disclosure, the Employment Tribunal ordered that security intelligence reports be redacted to delete names of prisoners who gave information to the Service about the Appellant and of officers who handled that information. The Tribunal, I, and both Counsel had copies of the documents unredacted.
Held: that the Tribunal had correctly or permissibly exercised their discretion. Disclosure of the names could permissibly be regarded as unnecessary for the proper pursuit of the claim and there was clear justification for the exclusion of the names.
