EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
The Employment Judge did not consult the members before refusing the Claimant’s application for an adjournment so she could read and give instructions on the Respondent’s witness statements produced on the day and in breach of the directions. There was evidence from one member that such a decision had been pre-determined. Magenta applied. The Respondent was debarred. Remitted to fresh Employment Tribunal. No order on the other grounds advanced albeit they had substance.
