Employment Tribunal

Michalak v General Medical Council [2016] EWCA Civ 172, [2016] All ER (D) 206 (Mar)

The Court of Appeal allowed the appellant’s appeal which concerned the jurisdiction of the employment tribunal to hear and determine complaints against qualifications bodies under Pt 5 of the Equality Act 2010. It held that, in the present case, where no statutory appeal to the High Court or internal review or appeal was provided for, the existence of judicial review did not preclude the use of the tribunal.
