MR S D AMOS v DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH [2003] UKEAT 1008_02_1009
[1]APPEARANCES For the Appellant NO APPEARANCE OR REPRESENTATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT HIS HONOUR JUDGE D SEROTA QC: This is the preliminary hearing of an appeal by Mr Amos against the decision of the Employment Tribunal at London South, promulgated on 7 August 2002, after a 4 day hearing in which the Employment Tribunal found the applicant to have been unfairly dismissed but awarded him no compensation. The Chairman of the Tribunal was Ms C E Taylor. There was no issue in the case that the appropriate procedure for disciplining staff had not been applied, so unfair dismissal was accepted by reason of procedural unfairness, but there was a dispute as to compensation.[2]Mr Amos has neither provided a skeleton argument in accordance with the direction made by the Employment Tribunal and his attention was specifically drawn to this on 27 August 2002 in a letter. We should point out as well that he made an unsuccessful application for a review which was dismissed on 24 September. It is unnecessary for us as it seems to go into the merits of the application. Mr Amos is not here to speak to it, and, in those circumstances, so far as we are concerned, it is inappropriate for us to go further into the matter and we dismiss his appeal.
