EAT CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Damages for breach of contract
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Striking-out/dismissal
The law relating to the construction of the Claimants’ contracts was set out by the EAT in Qantas v Lopez. The Employment Judge erred in law in failing to follow binding precedent and in four other ways.
An Employment Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear a claim in connection with living accommodation: EJO 1994 Art 5.
The Claimants were debarred and there was no resistance to the EAT determining the Respondent’s strike-out application without remission to the Employment Tribunal. The claims were struck out as having no reasonable prospect and an abuse of process.
