Owolowo v Family Mosaic Housing Association UKEAT/0160/10/ZT
Appeal against refusal to extend time for claims of discrimination and unfair dismissal. The EAT found that, even if the claimant, a litigant in person, had not specifically raised the point that he genuinely thought there was an ongoing procedure in relation to his dismissal, it should have been considered by the Tribunal Judge in light of the ET1. Appeal succeeded and remitted to the same Employment Judge.

Merrick (Formerly T/A WM A Merrick & Co Solicitors) v Fearon Vaughan Simpson UKEAT/0349/10/ZT
Appeal against a direction of the Tribunal that a strike out application, relating to unfair dismissal, should be heard by a full Employment Tribunal. The appeal was allowed: the EAT ruled that the full merits hearing listed should instead be used for a pre-hearing review, the only question to be decided to be whether or not the claimant claiming unfair dismissal had a reasonable prospect of success.

G v Gardiner & Theobald LLP UKEAT/0191/10/SM
Appeal against a decision that the claimant's ET1 did not include a claim for Equal Pay, and that if an amendment was sought, it would be refused. Whilst it was noted that the details on the ET1 could be minimalist, there was still a requirement for a minimum amount of information to explain what the claim was about. The EAT agreed that the ET1 contained a claim for sex discrimination but not equal pay. Appeal dismissed.

Chang Tave v Haydon School & Anor UKEAT/0153/10/CEA
Appeal against a decision by the Tribunal not to postpone a hearing due to the claimant's ill health, and against an order to strike out the claimant's claim due to his witness statement not having been lodged in time. The EAT found the Tribunal to be wrong on both counts; they set aside the strike order and ordered the matter to be re-listed for a full merits hearing before a different Tribunal.
