Chaudhry v Hampshire County Council [1995] UKEAT 720_93_0903 (9 March 1995)

The appeal was dismissed as the Appellant withdrew after being shown relevant documents and acknowledging their correctness. The Tribunal found the appeal was improperly and vexatiously brought, with no evidence to support the serious allegations made. The Appellant's conduct was unreasonable, justifying an order for costs against him.
