Public Consultation on
Proposed Revised EAT Rules of Procedure
This consultation document seeks views on
proposed amendments to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) rules.
The proposed amendments are designed to serve
two purposes: first, to ensure consistency with proposed new Employment Tribunal
Regulations and Rules, on which public consultation has recently been concluded;
and, secondly, to effect some relatively minor but worthwhile improvements in
procedure, including as regards the disposal of meritless appeals at the
outset.
The intention is that the amending order
should be placed before Parliament in the Summer of 2004, to come into effect
on 1 October 2004.
Responses are required by Friday 25th June
2004, please and should be sent by post, fax or email to:
