EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Appellate jurisdiction/reasons/Burns-Barke
The Claimant who had professional advice withdrew his claim in writing and did not attend the hearing of the 10 day case. It was dismissed at the hearing following a written application by the Respondent under rule 25. A year later he sought to reinstate it. The Notice of Appeal was a year late. At a contested hearing the EAT did not accept the Claimant was in fear of physical violence and wrongful arrest and imprisonment by officers of the MPS and this was not an excuse for the late lodgement. Muschett, Zinda and Miller applied.
