EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Amendment
Appellate jurisdiction/reasons/Burns-Barke
Employment Tribunal refused Claimant’s late application to amend to add the ‘label’ of unfair dismissal to the facts already pleaded and when both parties had prepared evidentially to deal with an unfair dismissal claim. Claimant’s appeal allowed.
Employment Tribunal’s dismissal of Claimant’s complaints of race discrimination and victimisation held not to be Meek compliant, given the extensive factual disputes and the brief, inadequately reasoned decision on a crucial issue in the case. Claimant’s appeal allowed.
Claims all remitted for a fresh hearing.
