At the Tribunal
THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE BUTTERFIELD
MRS R CHAPMAN
MR A C BLYGHTON
JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING - EX PARTE
Revised
APPEARANCES
For the Appellant MR P DOUGHTY
(of Counsel) appearing under the Employment Law Appeal Advice Scheme
MR JUSTICE BUTTERFIELD: With some hesitation and without encouraging the appellant to expect that in due course she will succeed in this appeal, we have determined that it is appropriate to grant leave in this case, and that the matter should go forward to a full hearing before Employment Appeal Tribunal.
The single point on which we have been persuaded that there is an arguable error of law in the decision of the Industrial Tribunal, relates to the issue of the appellant's contact with the respondents in relation to the vacancies at the neonatal unit as opposed to the vacancies in the maternity unit. It is plain in our judgment that the findings of fact made in relation to the application for employment in the maternity unit are such that no arguable point is disclosed. However, bearing in mind the absence of any reference to the appellant's application in respect of vacancies at the neonatal unit and the silence of the tribunal's decision on that point, we consider on that ground alone that there is an arguable ground of appeal.
We give you leave, if advised, to amend the Notice of Appeal to clarify precisely the point in issue.
