EAT Practice and Procedure : Compromise – The Employment Tribunal erred in their reasons for holding that the Claimants were not precluded from pursuing equal pay claims in respect of a certain period by the terms of COT3s. However their decision was upheld for the different reasons advanced on behalf of the Claimants in the Respondent’s Answer.
The Claimants’ cross-appeal from directions for a hearing on an estoppel by convention argument precluding the Claimants’ claims was academic as the basis for such an argument was the original erroneous basis for the Tribunal’s decision. The decision of the Employment Tribunal was not upheld on the basis which gave rise to the estoppel by convention argument.
