HSBC Bank Plc v Da Gama: EAT 10 Dec 2008

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Postponement or stay
Appeal allowed against the refusal of an Employment Judge to postpone a two day hearing of a claim of unfair dismissal and race discrimination. The Employment Judge has failed to take into account that the reason for the request for a postponement was the absence abroad of the Respondent’s two key witnesses. Their absence might fatally harm the Respondent’s case.
