Gareth Graham and Joseph England successful at persuading Court of Appeal to refuse permission to appeal

6th July 2017

Gareth and Joseph were recently instructed on behalf of a national retail group to submit a written statement to the Court of Appeal arguing that permission should not be provided to the Claimant in an appeal from the EAT.

The appeal concerned the correct process to be adopted at a preliminary hearing by an Employment Tribunal when considering striking out part of a claim, in particular the extent to which evidence should be heard and the way such evidence should be considered. Gareth and Joseph submitted a written statement to the Court of Appeal in accordance with CPR 52CPD.19 and were successful in securing a refusal of permission by Lewison LJ.
