EMPLOYMENT APPEAL TRIBUNAL 58 VICTORIA EMBANKMENT, LONDON EC4Y 0DS At the Tribunal On 10 October 1996 Judgment delivered on 26 March 1997 Before
MRS JUSTICE SMITH : This is an appeal from the decision of a Chairman of Industrial Tribunals sitting alone at Ashford, Kent, on the 29th July 1996.
The Chairman struck out the notices of appearance in each of the seven cases before him for failure to comply with an order for discovery made by him on 21st May 1996.
Other less important claims were advanced by some of the applicants, the details of which are not relevant to this appeal.
One of the issues which was common to all the applicants, the question of whether they were contractually obliged to week 37 hours a week or 39 hours a week, was determined at a preliminary hearing which took place some time in 1995. The issue was decided in favour of the employer who contended that the normal working week was 39 hours. The employees appealed to the Employment Appeal Tribunal who remitted the matter for a further hearing.
