EAT Equal Pay Act – Out of time
A hearing which was to be about whether the Claimant was to be warned as to costs and pay a deposit turned into a hearing as to a strike out. Apart from this procedural issue the EAT agreed with the Appellant that to strike out a case when there were a number of crucial issues of fact – which could only be resolved by an oral hearing – was inappropriate. The Appeal was allowed. The EAT did not consider it right to decide whether the Appellant should pay a deposit and he warned about costs but considered that was a matter which the Employment Tribunal should consider.
