PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Costs
An Employment Judge was not obliged to adjourn a hearing of her own motion. The hearing concerned an application for reconsideration of a Costs Order against the Claimant. The basis of the application was that the Claimant had misled the Tribunal as to his assets when he said that he had transferred his former matrimonial home into his wife’s name, since in fact he was still the registered proprietor. There were related County Court proceedings in which it was subsequently decided that he held the property on trust for his wife. The Employment Judge was aware of the County Court proceedings, but decided to proceed with the hearing. In the circumstances, she was entitled to do so.
