Latest tribunal judgments.

Mr I Bickley v John Lewis PLC: [2026] EAT 59

The EAT allowed the appeal by consent, holding that the tribunal erred by failing to consider whether the claimant made an error in relation to a name under Rule 12(2A) and by failing to consider whether Rule 6 entitled it to waive the requirement.
