EAT The appellant sought to set aside the decision of the Employment Tribunal on grounds of (a) apparent bias of the Employment Tribunal because of alleged discussions which took place in the absence of the appellant between the respondent’s counsel and the Tribunal while the Tribunal was deliberating and (b) the failure of the Employment Tribunal to grant the appellant’s application for an adjournment on the first day of the hearing.
This appeal is dismissed because it was found after considering the written and oral evidence (a) that no meeting took place in the absence of the appellant between the respondent’s counsel and the Tribunal while the Tribunal was deliberating and (b) that an adjournment was not sought as alleged by the appellant on the first day of the hearing.
