JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellant | MS J McNEAL (of Counsel) APPEARING UNDER THE EMPLOYMENT LAW APPEAL ADVICE SCHEME (ELAAS) |
MR JUSTICE MORISON: This is a judgment of two members of the Court; the President and Mrs Vickers, because I think it is appropriate that Ms Switzer, because of her involvement with the MSF Union should not formally adjudicate at this time.
"The Chair of the Tribunal panel created a culture of fear"
and it was in relation to that, as I understand it, that he did not feel able to continue on the following day. He asked for the matter to be adjourned, and that application was refused. There is obviously therefore an allegation here of bias and impropriety against the Tribunal and we have a procedure for dealing with appeals which raise such complaints. This procedure must now be invoked.
