Appeal by applicant, who had made a request under the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004, that a penalty be awarded against the employer for breaching these regulations. The President, having examined the reasons put forward by the employer, concluded they were not reasonable excuses. He set a penalty of £10,000 which, whilst at the lower end of the available scale, was not negligible due to the seriousness of the breach.

Mehta v The Mayor & Burgess of the London Borough of Hackney UKEAT/0182/08/RN
Appeal against decision that time should not be extended for claims of unfair dismissal, sex and race discrimination.

Costs of £900 were also awarded against the claimant. Appeal dismissed.

Ramkissoon v Brompton Bicycles Ltd UKEAT/0324/09/DM
Appeal against decision that the claimant was not unfairly dismissed. The EAT decided that the ET had overlooked a part of the evidence which might or might not have been of crucial importance. The EAT also questioned the ET's decision that the investigation undertaken by the employer regarding the claimant's alleged fiddling of his timesheets was adequate. The matter was remitted to a different Tribunal for a re-hearing.
