Tesco Stores Ltd v Element and Others (Practice and Procedure): EAT 13 Jan 2021

Tesco Stores Ltd is the Respondent to Equal Value Claims brought by approximately 9,000 Claimants. The issue in this Appeal is whether the Watford Employment Tribunal erred in law in making Orders against Tesco for the disclosure of documents and the provision of information relating to comparators. Tesco contends that the Claimants’ pleaded cases disclose no prima facie case that would warrant such Orders being made and amounted to an impermissible ‘fishing expedition’.
Held, dismissing the appeal, that the Tribunal Judge was entitled to make the orders that she did and the Claimants’ requests did not amount to an impermissible fishing expedition
