The Case
Employment Contract of service. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, held that the claim and counter-claim would be remitted to be tried by a different judge as there had been findings as to the terms of the employment contract between the parties that had not been based on findings of primary fact and were unsustainable on the basis of what, in the absence of appropriate findings, was clearly a contractual document containing the relevant terms.
