Balamoody v UKCC for Nursing Midwifery and Home Visitors: EAT 15 Oct 1999

The claimant had complained that a decision of the respondent to cancel his nursing home registration was unlawful racial discrimination. He now appealed a decision to strike out his claim as vexatious and frivolous.
Held: It was not clear that the Employment Appeal Tribunal had power to dismiss an appeal and the case should go to the full EAT, and it was also arguable that to dismiss a claim as vexatious without consideration of evidence was wrong. The appeal should go forward.
