For the Respondents
MR JUSTICE PILL: Mr C Rhodes has made an Application to the Industrial Tribunal. The Respondents are the New Possibilities N.H.S. Trust. The Application was made as long ago as June 1992. He claims that he has been unfairly dismissed. There have been a number of adjournments.
The matter comes before us on paper in these circumstances. The case has been listed for hearing tomorrow; Mr Rhodes seeks an adjournment. That is opposed by the Respondents. The Industrial Tribunal are not prepared to grant an adjournment. We have had faxed to us in the course of the afternoon the basic documents in the case, together with certain correspondence and notes of conversations which have occurred between Court staff and Mr Rhodes.
Mr Rhodes has also put forward a number of reasons why the hearing should not proceed tomorrow. We have considered those. We have come to the conclusion that this Tribunal should not intervene and we propose to give no directions to the Industrial Tribunal as to tomorrow's hearing.
It is of course open to the Industrial Tribunal to consider any further Application made to it on the subject of an adjournment and to reach a decision upon that Application as it sees fit.
