Reuters Ltd v Cole: EAT 16 Feb 2018

PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Amendment
The Appellant had issued an ET1 including a claim under section 15 Equality Act 2010. He applied out of time to add a claim under section 13 Equality Act 2010, contending that it raised no new facts or matters and thus was a mere relabelling exercise (Selkent). The Employment Judge accepted that argument and granted leave to amend. Appeal allowed: the section 13 claim involved more than relabelling. The application was remitted to the Employment Judge to consider the exercise of discretion.
