Newquest (Herald and Times) Ltd v Keeping: EAT 12 Mar 2010

EAT Practice and Procedure : Amendment – Employment Judge allowed claimant to amend claim form to introduce fresh equal pay claim. Held that Employment Judge had erred in law in failing to appreciate that time bar was an issue in the sense that had the claim been presented independently of the ongoing proceedings, it would have been time barred. No explanation for the lateness having been tendered and no grievance in respect of the new claim having been intimated, the amendment clearly ought to have been refused and decision to that effect substituted.
