EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Amendment
On an application to strike out a Claimant’s claims an issue arose as to whether the claim form contained a claim of automatically unfair dismissal. The Employment Tribunal Judge decided that it did not and refused an application to amend.
Appeal against those decisions dismissed. On a proper construction of the claim form it made no claim of automatically unfair dismissal. There was no error in the exercise of discretion on the application to amend.
