Transcript of Proceedings
JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
- This is an Appeal by College of Ripon & York St John against the decision of an Employment Tribunal held at Leeds on 14 March 2000 in which they unanimously concluded as a preliminary issue that the Applicant Dr Hobbs is disabled within the meaning of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. The Appeal is set out in a Notice of Appeal dated 3 May and received on 16 May. We have the benefits of being addressed by Miss Nowell of Counsel who has supplied us with very helpful skeleton argument.
- Suffice it to say that, after some hesitation, we have concluded that she has disclosed an arguable case on this Appeal and therefore it should proceed to a full hearing. There is no need to amend the grounds of appeal as they set out clearly the issues involved. We agree with her that this may be a case of some significance and therefore we give it Category B but we think it could probably be heard within half a day.
