Procedural Posture

Labour Tribunal Appeal to High Court / Application for Permission to Appeal (leave Application) Hearing and Refusal

  1. 1 Whether the applicant should be granted permission to appeal the Labour Tribunal decision
  2. 2 Whether the applicant's claim is barred by res judicata or constitutes an abuse of process
  3. 3 Whether the Deputy Labour Tribunal Judge erred in law or exceeded jurisdiction such that leave to appeal should be permitted

Ratio Decidendi

Permission to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate any legal error or excess of jurisdiction in the Deputy Labour Tribunal Judge's decision; the claims were plainly barred by res judicata and amounted to an abuse of process or frivolous litigation properly dismissed under s29, and the applicant's remedy was to appeal the earlier decision rather than re-file the same claims.
