Fire Master v Reilly and Another: EAT 31 May 2007

EAT SEX DISCRIMINATION
Direct
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Amendment
A Fire Master employed by a Fire Board was included as second respondent, as an individual, in a claim by a former employee of that Board for sex discrimination. At a pre-hearing review, the Tribunal refused a motion at his instance to exclude him from the claim as an individual respondent. He appealed and renewed that motion on appeal. The appeal was refused on the basis that the claimant had set out an arguable case alleging relevant direct sex discrimination on his part.
