The Employment Tribunal at the full hearing of claims for equal pay and sex and race discrimination was entitled to review and revoke an earlier case management order which had provided for part of the proceedings to be in private under rule 50 of the ET Rules. The earlier order was expressly subject to review by the full Tribunal. There had also been a material change of circumstances within the meaning of rule 29. The full Tribunal was able to see all the documents and witness statements for the hearing, which were not before the earlier Tribunal. The second Tribunal had the benefit of being shown authorities on the open justice principle which the first Tribunal had not seen.
