HIS HONOUR JUDGE PROPHET

1. We have before us today an appeal by the employer, the Management Committee of Chambers, 8 Kings Bench Walk, in respect of a Decision by an Employment Tribunal sitting at London Central under the chairmanship of Mrs Martin, in October 2000 to January 2001, by which Mr Burton was awarded compensation in respect of unfair dismissal, breach of contract and a failure to give written reasons for dismissal.
2. Mr Berry, of Counsel, represents the Appellant, and Mr Willers, of Counsel, the Respondent to the Appeal. Both Counsel were the respective Counsel before the Employment Tribunal.
3. The position of the representatives in respect of the matters of appeal which are set out in the Notice of Appeal, were essentially set out before this Tribunal this morning, but during the adjournment, the representatives have, with commendable good sense, entered into discussions, the outcome of which is that they have asked this Tribunal to make an Order, the terms of which I will set out in one moment.
4. We have looked at the content of this, and we are able to say that we are content for the appeal to be withdrawn by consent on these terms, the practical effect of which is that the Employment Tribunal Decision stands, subject only to amendment as to quantum as agreed within the terms of the Order.
5. The formal Order is as follows:

Upon hearing from Counsel for the Appellant and the Respondent, and upon the Appellant agreeing to pay the Respondent the sum of £19,497 (that sum comprising the payment of £15,000 compensation of £1,997 interest thereon, and the payment of £2,500 costs) within fourteen days of the sealed date of this Order, it is ordered by consent that this appeal be dismissed.

6. That concludes these proceedings and we thank both Counsel for their assistance.
