The Presiding Officer erred in law and in the exercise of discretion by failing to consider the factors in PD 29 paragraph 5 and to balance prejudice between parties, by applying an unduly restrictive test for allowing representation under s23, and by striking out the claimant's unsettled claims without first exploring alternatives such as remittal or adjournment; appeal allowed, order of 30 March 2017 set aside, claims restored, and VCF and representation applications remitted to the Labour Tribunal to be reheard by a different presiding officer.
