Panama v. Hackney [2001] UKEAT 884_00_2201 (22 January 2001)

The appeal is allowed to proceed because the amended grounds raise arguable points regarding the Tribunal's handling of the appellant's complaints and the finding of no compensation for unfair dismissal. The Tribunal's reasons and procedural handling are sufficiently challenged to warrant a full hearing.
