EAT Practice and Procedure : Amendment
1 The Employment Tribunal (ET) struck out a claim under the Equality Act 2010 section 15 as having no reasonable prospects of success. It found that there were no pleadings from which it could be found that the unfavourable act complained of, namely dismissal, amounted to the respondent treating the claimant unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of the claimant’s disability. The claimant argued that the ET erred in law in doing so.
Held: the ET was entitled to reach the view that there were no relevant pleadings to instruct a case under section 15 Equality Act 2010. Appeal dismissed so far as relating to that decision.
Held: there was no sufficient finding of unreasonable conduct. Appeal allowed in so far as it related to expenses.
