British Medical Association v Chaudhary: CA 15 May 2003

The claimant had sought registration as a specialist medical practitioner by the respondent. His complaint that the crtiria used to reject his claim were discriminatory had been rejected by the employment tribunal and EAT on the basis that they had no jurisdiction.
Held: The section and rules establishing the Training authority clearly reserved to that authority exclusive jurisdiction, and the tribunal had been right to decline to hear it.
