EAT At a hearing on a respondent’s application for review of a decision to refuse his ET3 as late, a lay member in training was present and retired with the Tribunal Chairman at the point of deliberation. Laughter was heard emanating from chambers during the adjournment. The Chairman and lay member returned and the review application was refused. The respondent appealed on grounds of unfairness; the lay member should not have retired with the Chairman and the laughter was indicative of his case not having been taken seriously. Appeal refused.
