EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Withdrawal
The appellant failed in pursuing unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal claims in the Employment Tribunal. He appealed and was rejected under rule 3(7) and again after submitting a fresh ground of appeal under rule 3(8). He sought an oral hearing pursuant to rule 3(10). Before the application was heard, he applied for the appeal to be withdrawn. The Registrar acceded to the application and made an order dismissing the appeal. The applicant claimed to have made the application under a misunderstanding of the position of the respondent. He sought to have the order overturned.
On appeal, the President held that the decision to dismiss the appeal was, in the circumstances, plainly correct. The appeal was dismissed.
