The Case
The respondent's appeal against the refusal of an employment tribunal chairman to strike the applicant's case out on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success was dismissed in circumstances where the chairman took the view that although the applicant's case was very weak, it was a case where the evidence should be heard.
