Sivagnansundarum v Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust: EAT 28 Jun 2011

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Appellate jurisdiction/reasons/Burns-Barke
Although this was a ‘narrative’ judgment sufficient substance could be extracted from the decision to demonstrate compliance with rule 30(6) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2004 SI No. 1861; Balfour Beatty Power Networks Ltd v Wilcox [2006] EWCA Civ 1240, [2007] IRLR 63, Greenwood v NWF Retail Ltd UKEAT/0409/09 and Jones v The City and County of Swansea UKEAT/0090/10 considered and applied; Short v Hayman UKEAT/0379/08/CEA not followed.
Rule 30(6) is a rule concerned with the reasoning as to relevant material (i.e. issues and evidence) and the failure to deal with all points raised will not necessarily amount to a breach of rule 30(6); only relevant points need be dealt with. Where, however, as here, relevant matters requiring findings of fact have not been dealt with, the only course is for that matter to be remitted. Consequently, two discrete allegations were remitted as well as the question as to whether or not there should be a declaration in the Part 1 Claim and an award under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, which was an issue depending on the findings made in relation to the other matters remitted.
