MR J BATEMAN v MR DOUGLAS WATTS T/A WATTS BROTHERS CENTRAL GARAGE [2000] UKEAT 338_00_2311
[1]APPEARANCES For the Appellant MISS REINDORF (of Counsel) Instructed by: Messrs Irwin Mitchell Solicitors St Peters House Hartshead Sheffield S1 2FL JUDGE D M LEVY QC This is a preliminary hearing of an appeal by Mr Bateman against Mr D Watts trading as Watts Brothers Central Garage Ltd following an Employment Tribunal decision promulgated on 2 February of this year. The Notice of Appeal is dated 9 March. Ms Reindorf appears for the Appellant on this appeal.[2]Having read her Skeleton Argument and the grounds of appeal, we are satisfied that this should go forward to a full hearing, subject to the following. On page 2 of our bundle it is common ground that paragraph 14 of the Notice of Appeal has been withdrawn and we have discussed with Ms Reindorf the composition of the grounds of appeal insofar as it is set out in paragraphs 7, 8 ,9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. It would be of considerable assistance to the Tribunal hearing the full appeal if an amended Notice was put in, setting out the grounds of appeal under the sub-headings in paragraph 6. Paragraph 15, which is simply a request and not a ground of appeal, should be set out as a separate paragraph if on further consideration it is needed. We would ask Ms Reindorf, therefore, to settle and lodge an amended Notice of Appeal putting these grounds in an appropriate order in the next 14 days. Category C, half a day.
