JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellants | MR M O'CONNOR (Representative) |
JUDGE H WILSON: This is the latest stage in a very unfortunately long-run dispute and really, one hopes, the penultimate stage. We have had regard to the grounds of appeal and most particularly to the decision of the Industrial Tribunal viewed in the light of the decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal chaired by Lord Johnston. We find that the appeal should proceed to a full hearing upon the following question:
Whether the Industrial Tribunal failed to find what if any, the normal retiring age was, and if so, whether it precluded itself from considering whether or not the Respondent brought himself within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. We consider that the appeal should be allotted to category C and two hours for the length.
