Sheraz Khan v MKK Logistics UKEAT/0080/10/ZT
Appeal against amount of holiday pay awarded to claimant who had been found to have been unfairly dismissed. The holiday pay entitlement was calculated with reference to the current holiday year, although the claimant sought payment stretching back further. This was contrary to the decision in Stringer & Ors v HMRC [2009] UKHL 31, which the Judge did not know about at the time. Appeal succeeded and matter remitted back to the Tribunal.

O'Driscoll v Hertfordshire Personal Assistance Support Services UKEAT/0412/09/DA
Appeal against finding that the claimant had not been discriminated against, nor constructively dismissed, amongst other claims of unlawful deductions. Further, the claimant claimed that she had been ‘ambushed’ when she brought proceedings under rule 3(10), because the Tribunal found that the claimant’s contract was tainted by illegality, a point not raised by the respondent, and therefore could not entertain her claims.

Yorkshire Window Company v Parkes UKEAT/0484/09/SM

Enable Care & Home Support Ltd v Pearson UKEAT/0366/09/SM
Appeal against decision that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The EAT overturned this ruling, saying that the ET had separated out the accusations and effectively watered them down, which led them to conclude that the behaviour of the claimant should have resulted in a warning rather than dismissal. The EATruled that the employer's actions did fall within the band of reasonable responses.

May v Greenwich Council UKEAT/0102/10/LA
Appeal against rejection of the claimant's ET1 form because the Tribunal ruled that it was illegible. Appeal succeeded: the EAT ruled that, although the claim form was difficult to read in places, the original claim form was readable without the use of a magnifying glass, and thus the Tribunal's decision was perverse.

Woodward v Santander UK Plc (Formerly Abbey National Plc) UKEAT/0250/09/ZT
Appeal against decision by ET that the claimant had not been victimised or discriminated against. In particular, the Tribunal ruled that the claimant could not use evidence which formed part of ‘without prejudice’ negotiations, nor could she amend her claim form to introduce an actual comparator to help in her discrimination claim as none had been referred to in previous proceedings. Appeal dismissed.
