Article summary

The EAT will not make an order for reimbursement of costs in respect of issue and/or hearing fees if they have been paid by an appellant’s union rather than by the appellant directly. This is because, under Rule 34A(2A) of the EAT Rules, an order for reimbursement of costs can only be made in respect of fees actually paid by the appellant. EAT: Goldwater v Sellafield.
