EAT Practice and Procedure: Postponement or stay
Age Discrimination
Stay of proceedings where age discrimination is alleged. There is no basis for a valid claim in current UK law, but a case (Heyday) has been referred to the ECJ, which if successful would provide the Claimant with a valid claim. Should the claim be stayed pending the ECJ decision (the result of which should not be prejudged by the English Courts) or should the claim be struck out. Appeal allowed. Stay granted.
