Procedural Posture

Small Claims Tribunal Appeal to Court of First Instance / Application for Leave to Appeal; Decision Refusing Leave

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal should be granted where impugned findings are factual
  2. 2 Whether the Deputy Adjudicator's factual findings were perverse or irrational
  3. 3 Whether the Small Claims Tribunal had jurisdiction or the matter fell within the Labour Tribunal's schedule

Ratio Decidendi
