EAT Contract of Employment : Notice and Pay In Lieu – The Employment Judge permissibly refused to allow the Claimant to amend her claim to add wrongful dismissal as it was an attempt to argue unfair dismissal, for which she lacked one year’s employment. But even if she were allowed to argue this, the papers indicated she had been paid her notice money in full so the claim would have been struck out anyway.
Observation:
The Claimant did not attend so could not instruct counsel on the ELAA Scheme who did attend and had prepared the case. This is a waste of resources and goodwill.
