A tribunal having decided not to call for expert evidence as to the situation of comparators in an equal pay claim, dismissed the application after deciding that the appellants had no reasonable prospect of success. This was wrong, and it failed to recognise the two stages of the procedure, which should have later allowed the claimant themselves to choose to bring such evidence. The appellants had accordingly been denied a proper hearing, and the case was remitted.
