MISS L CASH v MINISTRY OF DEFENCE (NAVY) [1999] UKEAT 422_99_2107
[1]APPEARANCES For the Appellant IN PERSON MR JUSTICE CHARLES : This case comes before us pursuant to the preliminary hearing procedure under which it is for the Appellant to show that she has a reasonably arguable case. She appeals against a decision of the Employment Tribunal which was sent to the parties on 5 February 1999. Those Extended Reasons record that the conclusion of the Employment Tribunal was that they did not have jurisdiction to hear the complaints made by Miss Cash against the Ministry of Defence. In those Extended Reasons they go through the relevant statutory provisions relating to the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal. In our judgment they have identified the correct statutory provisions and their conclusions are plainly right.[2]It follows that, notwithstanding that Miss Cash maintains that she has justifiable complaints against the conduct of the Ministry of Defence, the Employment Tribunal had, and has, no jurisdiction to hear the complaints specified in the Extended Reasons which they refused to hear. It also follows(a) that this appeal raises no point of law that is reasonably arguable, and therefore(b) that we have no jurisdiction to hear it and it must be dismissed.
