Case Summary

The claimant applied to amend his claim to add INEOS FPS Limited as a second respondent, alleging that he was unfairly dismissed and discriminated against on grounds of disability as a direct result of an instruction from INEOS to Bilfinger (UK) Limited. Employment Judge Mcfatridge granted the application, finding that there were issues between the claimant and the proposed second respondent falling within the tribunal's jurisdiction and that it was in the interests of justice to have them determined in these proceedings.

Why this outcome?

The tribunal found that there were clear issues falling within its jurisdiction between the claimant and the proposed second respondent (INEOS FPS Limited), as the claimant alleged he was dismissed as a direct result of a discriminatory instruction from INEOS, and that it was in the interests of justice to determine these issues in the proceedings rather than in separate litigation.
