An Employment Tribunal erred by permitting the Claimant to amend her claim to add new allegations of whistleblowing detriment and by listing a final hearing without notice to the Respondent, in a case where the Respondent had made no response to the claim. The amendment decision was made without sufficient consideration of the guidance in Selkent Bus Co Ltd v Moore [1996] ICR 836. Rule 21 (3) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 required the Respondent to be given notice of the further hearing.
