Litigation Review - Employment
The Employment Appeal Tribunal have created a new public policy
ground for excluding evidence in Amwell View School v Dogherty
[2006].  It is fraught with problems.
By Dr John Birchall
Mrs Dogherty, a teaching assistant and school meals supervisor,
appealed against her dismissal. She took an electronic recording
device to hearings with the school governors. It malfunctioned
and recorded their private deliberations. She wanted to use the
recordings as evidence that her dismissal was unfair. The
Employment Tribunal admitted the evidence. The EAT reversed that
decision.
