An Employment Tribunal did not have the right to refuse to hear a representative selected by a party appearing before it. Where that representative was a member of a professional body, then the tribunal might exercise some discipline by referring misconduct to a regulatory body, but the right for the party to choose his representative was simply stated and absolute. The tribunal could not require him to represent himself.
