Jurkowska v Hlmad Ltd: CA 19 Mar 2008

The employer wanted to appeal against a decision of the Employment Tribunal but was out of time.
Rimer LJ said: ‘that dealing with cases justly requires that they be dealt with in accordance with recognised principles. Those principles may have to be adapted on a case by case basis to meet what are perceived to be the special or exceptional circumstances of a particular case. But they at least provide the structure on the basis of which a just decision can be made.’
