United Kingdom Employment Appeal Tribunal

APPEARANCES

 

For the Appellant	MR D TATTON-BROWN (OF COUNSEL) (Instructed by) Messrs Collins Benson Goldhill Solicitors 26/28 Great Portland Street London W1N 5AD


 


JUDGE D M LEVY QC: Not without reluctance, because this is an Appeal to reverse a Remedy Hearing where the sum to which the Respondent was held entitled in the sum of £12,000, we have been persuaded by Mr Tatton-Brown that there are arguable points which are contained in the grounds of Appeal which he settled and indeed, we have heard arguments on four of the identified points which we think should go forward.

1. We hope that this matter will not come to a full hearing because at the end of the day, with both sides represented by Counsel the legal costs of the Appeal may be nearly as great as the admitted difference, the greatest amount which will be due to the Appellant and the Respondent. Mr Tatton-Brown properly has told us frankly that a sum of £4,000 must, in any event, be due to Mr Daly.
2. As to the directions for the Hearing, we have been given apparently all the documents which were before the Employment Tribunal. It seems to us directions should be that the Appellant should, within a date which we will hear from Mr Tatton-Brown, write to the Respondent saying which documents his client wish to be in the bundle and the Respondent should have a period in which to say if he requires additional documents, so a bundle can be prepared for the Tribunal in good time for the full hearing of the Appeal.
3. Category C. ½ day to a day.
