    APPEARANCES

     

    For the Appellant MR D GREENE
    (of Counsel)
    APPEARING UNDER
    EMPLOYMENT LAW
    APPEAL ADVICE
    SCHEME
    (ELAAS)
       


     

    JUDGE LEVY: This is a preliminary hearing of the appeal by Mr A Akinoshun, the Appellant, following a hearing before a Tribunal sitting at London South on 10 November 1998. The decision was promulgated on 13 January 1999. The question before the Tribunal was whether the Appellant had been unfairly discriminated against on the grounds of sex. His claim failed and was dismissed. There was a further claim that he was not paid less than female workers on the grounds of sex. His claim under the Equal Pay Act also failed and dismissed.

  1. The Appellant put in a lengthy Notice of Appeal which we have considered with Mr Greene who appears for him on the ELAAS scheme today - the Appellant represented himself below. Mr Green has persuaded us that there are two points which arise on the appeal which are not identified in the Appellant's Notice of Appearance. They really arise because of the red circling of the comparator as against the Appellant.

  2. Mr Greene has submitted a draft of a Notice of Appeal taking the points which we think are arguable as two grounds. We will give the Appellant leave to amend his Notice of Appeal by withdrawing all the matters which were there before it and to substitute the two grounds which Mr Greene has drafted this morning. It may be that Mr Greene would like to do a little fine tuning to those grounds. We therefore give 14 days in which this should happen and the matter can then come forward for a hearing before a full Tribunal in due course. Category C, estimated time half a day.
