EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
A legally unrepresented employer contended that it had come to a preliminary hearing unprepared for it to be determined whether it rather than a third party employed the Claimant, given the way the issues for decision had been set out. No adjournment was offered. It was argued this was unfair. Held, dismissing appeal, that since the claim was for unfair dismissal, and the employer’s response had understood this – since it had said that the Claimant was not and had never been its employee – no material procedural irregularity had occurred. The Employment Tribunal was also within its powers to refuse a review.
