Williamson v The Chief Constable of The Greater Manchester Police and Another: EAT 9 Mar 2010

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Appellate jurisdiction / reasons / Burns-Barke
Case Management
The Employment Judge sitting alone at a pre-hearing review was correct in excluding evidence obtained by a covert recording of a discussion by the panel at a capability hearing under Regulations 13 of the Police Regulations 2003 when neither the Appellant nor his representative were present having withdrawn so that the discussion could take place. The decision was within the Judge’s discretion. In any event the decision accorded with the EAT judgment in Chairman and Governors of Amwell View School v Dogherty [2007] IRLR 198.
