The Commissioner appealed a refusal of an adjournment of a hearing expected to last many weeks. He said that it was impossible to decide disciplinary proceedings against the complainant at the same time as facing a complaint from him of racial discrimination. He said they would be hampered in approaching witnesses. The EAT considered there had been sufficient opportunity to make progress on the disciplinary proceedings, and the directions were confirmed.
