EAT Practice and Procedure – Time for appealing – The Employment Tribunal, instead of issuing a correction in respect of one error in its Judgment, withdrew the Reasons in their entirety and reissued them. Time ran in those circumstances from the fresh promulgation, or at least the Appellant (otherwise one day out of time) was entitled so to conclude. Urgent recommendation to ET Chairman, when making a correction, not to reissue the whole Judgment but to issue the relevant page(s) corrected, sensibly making clear that the original promulgation date still stands. If the ‘correction’ is so substantial as to merit withdrawal of the original Reasons, then it may amount to a Review under Rule 34(5).

The Honourable Mr Justice Burton
