THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 2423/10
CLAIMANT: James McKeown
RESPONDENT: Roger Dougan
DECISION ON A PRE-HEARING REVIEW
The claimant was given leave to amend his claim form to include claims for unpaid wages, unpaid holiday pay and unpaid notice pay.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Chairman (sitting alone): Mr Paul Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was self-represented.
There was no appearance on behalf of the respondent.
REASONS
1. These proceedings were begun in September 2010. The claimant’s request for leave to amend his claim form (so as to include claims for wages, holiday pay and notice pay) were first notified to the claimant in March 2011. However, I am satisfied that the respondent has not in any way been prejudiced by any late notification of the “additional” claims. The respondent had been informed, in advance, of the holding of this Pre-Hearing Review, but he has not made contact with the Office of the Industrial Tribunals, or sought to make any representations, in that connection.
2. Against that background, I am satisfied that it is appropriate to grant the claimant leave to amend his claim form so as to include the “additional” claims specified above.
Chairman:
Date and place of hearing: 24 March 2011, Belfast.
