Sinclair Roche and Temperley (A Firm ) v Heard, Fellows: EAT 21 Nov 2005

EAT Practice and Procedure: Disclosure, Costs and Disposal of Appeal
Appeal against interlocutory orders by ET Chairman debarring reliance on some disclosed documents and ordering costs against the Appellant: and restoration of earlier adjourned application for Review of the decision by the EAT, when allowing the original appeal, to remit the appeal to the same Tribunal. Appeal allowed in respect of debarring order and costs: order was flawed as being in substitution for an earlier order which should plainly not have been granted and as made without consideration of the correct legal approach to prejudice caused by late disclosure, in terms of effect on a fair trial and prejudice caused by debarring the evidence: costs order made in respect of the hearing could not be justified on grounds of unreasonable conduct by the Appellant, but was due to the need to revoke the earlier inappropriate order.
On the restored application for Review, order reviewed so as to remit the appeal to a freshly-constituted Tribunal, on the grounds that the Sinclair Roche requirements for the exceptional step of remitting to the same Tribunal were not, in the light of subsequent events, now satisfied.
