PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Postponement or stay
There was no error in the ET’s decision not to postpone a costs hearing, even though it meant the hearing took place in the Claimant’s absence. The medical evidence was vague and did not provide sufficient evidence that the Claimant was unfit to attend the hearing. The line of Authorities from Teinaz v London Borough of Wandsworth [2002] IRLR 721, Andreou v The Lord Chancellor’s Department [2002] IRLR 728, Beardshall v Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and others UKEAT/0073/12/ZT considered, followed and applied.
