EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
The Claimant was ordered to supply particulars of her claim for sex discrimination against both Respondents. When she did so the Respondents maintained that the particulars went beyond the claim as set out in the ET1 and attachment and that she would therefore need leave to amend in order to include the particulars in her claim. The Employment Judge agreed that the particulars went beyond the ET1 and refused leave to amend. The appeal was allowed to proceed solely on whether the EJ was correct in his reading of the ET1. The EAT decided that on a proper reading of the ET1 it contained one particular claim for sex iscrimination/harassment which could be pursued, but that the EJ’s decision to refuse leave for any amendment adding any other claim would be upheld.
