Article summary

Employment analysis: An unrepresented litigant was at fault for not having read and followed the Court guidance on how to appeal from the employment tribunal to the EAT and accordingly the correct decision had been taken not to extend time for his appeal which was lodged 42 days out of time because he had not checked that his original appeal had been received (as suggested in the guidance) and it had been lost in the post, according to the Court of Appeal.
