Mr A Bindi v Metropolitan Thames Valley
The EAT refused an extension of time for a late appeal about a video link order. The appeal was two minutes late and had become academic after the tribunal claim was dismissed and related appeals failed.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has refused an extension of time for a late appeal against a tribunal case management order. The decision was given by His Honour Judge Auerbach on 6 August 2026.
The underlying order was made on 9 June 2023 by Employment Judge R Lewis, permitting a respondent witness to give evidence by video link at the then listed merits hearing. The appellant emailed his EAT appeal on 21 July 2023, but it reached the EAT server at 4.02 pm which was after the 4 pm deadline. The Registrar refused an extension of time and the appellant appealed to a judge.
