EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Case management
Postponement or stay
The Employment Tribunal refused to postpone a multi-day hearing in circumstances where the Claimant’s medical evidence indicated that he was genuinely unwell and unfit to attend. There was a history of delay and previous adjournments. Cases relating to decisions on adjournment applications and to the need to ensure a fair hearing reviewed. The ET was found to have erred and the appeal was allowed.
