EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Case management
The Employment Tribunal had refused a request for an adjournment but given inadequate reasons for doing so.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal allowed the appeal and set aside the decision of the Employment Tribunal but in view of the imminence of the scheduled hearing went ahead and decided the application itself. The application for an adjournment refused on the basis that the evidence in relation to the party’s unfitness to attend was unsatisfactory.
