Chairman and Governors of Amwell School v C Dougherty: EAT 16 Jun 2006

EAT Human Rights – Admissibility of evidence. On an unfair dismissal claim, the Employment Tribunal made an order enabling the employee to adduce evidence from unauthorised recordings she had made of the employers’ disciplinary and appeal panel hearings, including the private deliberations of the panel members. An appeal against that order raised the issue as to whether there was any public policy justification for exclusion of the evidence or whether its exclusion could be otherwise be justified by reference to the Human Rights Act.
