Sheibani v Elan and Co Llp: EAT 13 Jul 2012

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
Employment Tribunal rejected claims by an accountant employee, and a cross-claim by his accountant employer, on the basis that the contact of employment was illegal as performed, and relying on authorities, when neither the allegation of illegality nor the authorities had been raised with the parties during the hearing.
Held: that this was more than a mere irregularity, and amounted to a breach of natural justice which required that the appeal be allowed.
