JUDGMENT
APPEAL FROM REGISTRAR’S ORDER
For the Appellant | MS E MOHTASHAM (the Appellant in Person) |
For the Respondent | MR C DOBBIN (Solicitor) Messrs Bond Pearce Solicitors Town Quay House 7 Town Quay Southampton SO14 2PT |
HIS HONOUR JUDGE PETER CLARK
(i) The Employment Tribunal's decision to strike out her 16 applications to the Employment Tribunal;
(ii) The Employment Tribunal's order of £10,000 costs against her on the basis of being vexatious;
(iii) The Employment Tribunal declining to provide a reasonable time for the Appellant to state her case; and
(iv) The Employment Tribunal declining to review its decision of 23 December 2002 and declining to provide Extended Reasons.
27 (1) "The timetable set by the EAT Rules should be observed by the parties and their lay and professional advisers. Although more sympathy may be shown to a party who is unrepresented, as many are, there is no excuse, even in the case of an unrepresented party, for ignorance of the time limit or of the importance of compliance. When parties are notified of the reasons for the industrial tribunal's decision they are informed of the 42-day time limit for appealing. The limits will, therefore, only be relaxed in rare and exceptional cases where the Tribunal is satisfied that there is a reason which justifies departure from the time limits laid down in the Rules."
