JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
| For the Appellants | NO APPEARANCE OR REPRESENTATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANTS |
JUDGE BUTTER QC: This case is listed for the Preliminary Hearing of an appeal by Grosvenor on the Park Ltd against a decision of the Industrial Tribunal sitting at Exeter on 26 July of last year . The Extended Reasons for the decision were sent out on 8 August.
The decision of the Chairman, sitting alone, was that the Applicant be awarded £752.40 for breach of contract. In his reasons he dealt with the contract. He made various findings and explained how he reached the award to which I have just referred.
The employers put in a Notice of Appeal in short terms. We have considered those. They have not submitted a Skeleton Argument nor have they appeared today, but simply have faxed through to this Tribunal a document in the following terms:
"This is to confirm we shall not be attending the preliminary hearing of the above case and we would like the case heard on the written submissions made by us to the EAT."
We have considered the documents before us. We are not persuaded that there is any arguable point of law here to go forward and in the circumstances it is our unanimous view that this appeal fails and must be dismissed.
