Doughty v The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions: EAT 22 May 2014

EAT Practice and Procedure : Amendment – The Employment Judge refused an application for permission to amend the ET1 to claim victimisation. She approached the application on the footing that there was no clear legal basis for the amendment.
Held: there was a clear legal basis for the amendment; for this and other reasons the Employment Judge’s approach to the application was flawed; and if she had approached the application correctly in law she would have granted it. Permission to amend granted (Jafri v Lincoln College [2014] EWCA Civ 449 considered and applied).
