EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Appellate jurisdiction/reasons/Burns-Barke
CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Whether established
The Tribunal’s reasons for concluding that the dismissal of the Claimant was not unfair did not adequately address the issues which were raised before it; they did not comply with rule 30(1)(e) of the Employment Tribunal Rules or the test laid down in Meek.
There was an issue before the Tribunal as to which company within a group was the Claimant’s employer. The Tribunal did not resolve this issue. It was not sufficient to say that all the named companies within the group should be jointly and severally liable for the judgment; there was no basis for supposing that all the named companies jointly employed the Claimant.
