EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Perversity
Tribunal’s judgment set aside where they had accepted the claimant’s evidence on an essential matter despite her solicitor’s failure to cross-examine the relevant employers’ witness on it, despite other conflicts in her evidence and despite there being matters which called her reliability into question as well as her credibility. Not, though, an error of law for the tribunal to refrain from recalling the respondents’ witness of its own motion. Remit to a fresh tribunal.
