Wlodarczyk v. Shell Pensions Management Services & Ors [2003] UKEAT 0330_03_2107 (21 July 2003)

The Tribunal did not err in law or act perversely in refusing to admit the supplementary statement in full or in limiting the number of witnesses called, given the applicant's lack of credibility and the overwhelming evidence against her claims. The Tribunal properly exercised its discretion and case management powers, and there was no prejudice to the applicant.
