Points of procedure

Article Abstract:

A review of recent cases presented in the industrial tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal's (EAT) response in these cases helps summarize some of EAT's points of procedure. Only one application for extension of time is allowed to respondents to enter a notice of appearance. Industrial tribunals can use their discretion in deciding on a submission of 'no case to answer' as there is no widely applicable test. Another important procedural matter is that tribunals will place cost orders on appeals brought merely as delaying procedures. Solicitors and counsels involved in such appeals will also be penalized.
