JUDGE LEVY QC

1.	We have before us today an Appeal by Dr Lee in which the Respondents are the Defence Evaluation Research Agency.  Miss Duffay appears on this ex parte Preliminary Application.  It follows a remedy hearing following a long hearing on the merits case where a majority decided on one aspect of the case in the Appellant’s favour.

2.	We have just before this preliminary appeal heard an appeal by the Respondent to this appeal against the main decision of the Employment Tribunal.  We therefore are in the unusual situation of having representatives of both sides still in Court for the hearing of the appeal against quantum by the Appellant.  

3.	Both sides agreed (at our suggestion) that it would not be sensible for Dr Lee’s appeal to be considered until after the decision on the Respondent’s appeal has been determined.  We will therefore not make any other order on this preliminary hearing, other than that it should be listed for a further hearing immediately after the decision in the Respondents appeal has been promulgated, when both parties may want to reconsider their position.
