Stay of execution
by Sarah
Another decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal upheld an appeal on the Employment Tribunal’s interpretation of the Dispute Resolution Regulations. The Claimant had issued a Claim for Disability Discrimination and Unfair Dismissal but had not raised a grievance in respect of the disability. Rather than make the Claimant issue a fresh claim once the statutory procedure had been complied with but instead obviously in a moment of kindness the ET stayed the Claim pending compliance. The EAT upheld the employer’s appeal on this issue. You can read the full decision here. This is yet another decision concerning the statutory procedures and the wierd and wacky interpretations we have to work with. Of course those of you who read our blog regularly will have seen that consultation is underway about the procedures and the possibility that they will be repealed.
