The claimant sought damages for racial discrimination by her employers. At the Employment Tribunal, the claimant’s representative conceded that only one act was within the limitation period, but claim had been made to support that allegation, beyond the evidence. The Employment Appeal Tribunal directed a rehearing for the Tribunal to consider the facts alleged in the claim.
Held: The EAT had no power to order the tribunal to consider facts not alleged in the original claim, and only in the evidence at the tribunal.
