Strickland v Kier Ltd and Others: EAT 11 Oct 2017

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Case management
CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT
Where, for the purposes of his contractual claims, a Claimant contends that the proper law of a contract has the same result as would be the case under the law of England and Wales and the Respondent contends that it has a different result, it is for the Respondent both to plead and establish the result for which it contends in relation to each affected claim.
The Employment Tribunal erred in ordering that the Claimant pay half the cost of providing evidence of the position under Dubai law, alternatively that a firm of the Tribunal’s choosing be instructed on a joint basis. The matter is remitted to the same Employment Tribunal for further directions in accordance with this Judgment.
