Chief Constable of Kent Constabulary v Bowler: EAT 12 Jan 2018

PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
The Respondent sought to challenge a case management order made by the Employment Tribunal following an appeal that remitted allegations of unlawful victimisation be redetermined. The order permitted the parties to adduce additional evidence on the issue of knowledge of the protected act.
The appeal failed. The order made by the Employment Tribunal did not exceed its jurisdiction. The Employment Appeal Tribunal’s Judgment expressly anticipated the possibility of additional evidence being heard and the order did not limit this possibility.
Further, in the unusual circumstances of this case, the order was a permissible option and well within the case management discretion available to the Employment Tribunal.
