EAT (Practice and Procedure: Amendment) An application to re-amend the grounds of appeal was made as result of the Employment Appeal Tribunal raising a query with the parties after the close of submissions as to whether part of the Judgment was sound in law. After considering competing submissions the further amendment was allowed because the prejudice to the Appellant in being subject to an award(s) of compensation that the Employment Tribunal might have no jurisdiction to make and a Judgment, which might be unlawful not being subject to challenge, outweighed the prejudice suffered by the Appellant as a result of further delay.
