Milner v Charnos Plc [1997] UKEAT 899_97_1411
JUDGE B HARGROVE QC :
The Appellant, who does not appear today, has made representations to us by fax, has alleged unfair dismissal in that she was the victim of sex discrimination.The Industrial Tribunal found that, on the contrary, she had resigned and that the case for sex discrimination was not made out.In the course of discussions about costs, the Appellant alleges that the witnesses who had given evidence against her case committed perjury.The Industrial Tribunal found that the proceedings she had brought were frivolous and vexatious. She was ordered to pay £200 towards the costs.We have considered the matter with care, as the Appellant could not be before us and, as I say, we have taken account of the facts which she has sent. She accepts that she has no point of law in those terms.We do not think it right for this Tribunal to interfere in the exercise of the Industrial Tribunal's discretion in relation to costs. The Industrial Tribunal heard the evidence and was in a position to form the view from the manner in which that case was conducted.Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
