Bangs v Connex South Eastern Ltd: CA 27 Jan 2005

The failure of a tribunal to promulgate its decision was a matter of fact not of law, and could not therefore itself be a ground of appeal to the EAT. The EAT had allowed an appeal on the fair trial provision of the Convention. A failure to promulgate an opinion in a timely manner could lead to a claim against the state for failing to provide a fair trial, but not to an appeal. There was no incompatibility between the rule and convention rights.
