JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING – EX PARTE
For the Appellants | THE APPELLANTS BEING NEITHER PRESENT NOR REPRESENTED |
MR JUSTICE KEENE: This is a preliminary hearing of this appeal to see if any reasonably arguable point of law is disclosed by the grounds of appeal. It is an appeal against a decision of an Employment Tribunal sitting at London (North) and entered on the Register on 29th March 2000. There has been no appearance by the appellants this morning, but the tribunal has been informed by them that they do not intend to appear because they wish to save the cost of the travel expenses and they are content that this Appeal Tribunal should deal with the matter on the basis of the documents before us. We propose to do so.
"3. … There is an issue as to whether Mr Chaplin and Miss Chaplin were dismissed and the burden of proving this rests upon them. They did not attend the hearing and have not discharged that burden."
