Practice and Procedure – Right To Be Heard – PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Case management
The wide discretion given to Employment Tribunals to make case management decisions is not to be interfered with on appeal save in limited circumstances. This was one. The refusal by the Regional Employment Judge to be taken by counsel on behalf of the Respondent applicant to passages in the ET1 and witness statement of the Claimant sought to be redacted was so unreasonable that the decision on the application cannot stand. Counsel was inhibited from making submissions on material which was at the heart of the application. Rejection of the application for redaction set aside. Application remitted to the Regional Employment Judge for rehearing.
