Allied Healthcare Group Ltd v George: EAT 14 Nov 2008

EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
The Employment Tribunal found that the Appellant had discriminated against the Respondent by failing to consider reinstatement to their register of nurses or to actually reinstate her to the register of nurses or to actually reinstate her to the register. The ET allowed an appeal on the grounds that (a) the point has not been pleaded or argued before the ET and (b) if the ET considered the issue to be a live one it should have clearly alerted the parties to it and given them the opportunity of dealing with it. Observations on amendment in a race discrimination case made following Ministry of Defence v Hay (UKEAT/0571/07/CEA).
