EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Costs
Tribunal refused to award expenses where it dismissed claimant’s contractual claim. Claim was based on the claimant’s assertion that she had not breached the confidentiality clause in a compromise agreement, an assertion repeated by her in evidence before the Tribunal but which was not accepted. In rejecting her evidence it found that, notwithstanding her denials, she had made prohibited disclosures to two separate people. In these circumstances the Tribunal was in error in failing to find that the claimant acted unreasonably in bringing and conducting the proceedings and should have made an award of expenses against her.
