EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
The Employment Tribunal made an award for injury to feelings based on what was said in a closing submission without receiving any evidence on the question. Appeal allowed: the closing submission was no more than comment and argument and did not constitute material evidence. Some material evidence of injury to feelings was required. Matter remitted to Employment Tribunal for evidence to be heard and the question of injury to feelings considered afresh.
