Munchkins Restaurants Ltd & Anor v Karmazyn & Ors [2010] EWCA Civ 1163
Application to appeal against findings by the ET, which were upheld by the EAT, that several waitresses had suffered discrimination, harassment and were unfairly constructively dismissed. It was submitted that the ET did not consider whether the claims were in time and their approach, when considering the individual claims, was too 'broad brush'. The respondent also questioned the issues of joint and several liability and whether it was rational to make the same award to each of the claimants. Application refused.
