EAT Trade Union Rights : Action Short of Dismissal – PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Costs
The claimant, a member of WEU an independent trade union, made 21 claims of detriment for taking part in its activities, and for race discrimination against him as an Englishman. He succeeded on only four, against which the Respondent appealed. The EAT considered analytically the ET’s reasoning on each of the four trade union claims and found errors of approach in each one. On the findings there was no reason to remit the claims to the ET and they were dismissed.
The Respondent was ordered to pay part of the Claimant’s costs in the EAT since it should not have argued that the union was not independent of its influence.
