Joes v The City and County of Swansea: EAT 5 May 2011

EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Compensation
The decisions to apportion compensation, not to award any future loss after April 2008 and to apply an ‘uplift’ of 25% in respect of breach of statutory procedures were neither irrational, nor without evidential foundation nor based on any misdirection and the appeal would be dismissed.
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Appellate jurisdiction/reasons/Burns-Barke
Although this was a ‘narrative’ judgment sufficient substance could be extracted from the decision to demonstrate compliance with rule 30(6) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2004 SI No. 1861; Balfour Beatty Power Networks Ltd v Wilcox [2006] EWCA Civ 1240, [2007] IRLR 63 and Greenwood v NWF Retail Ltd UKEAT/0409/09 applied.
Discretion would not be exercised in favour of allowing a new point to be raised by the cross appeal.
