APPEARANCES

 

For the Appellant	MR BRUCE CARR (Of Counsel) Messrs Rowley Ashworth Solicitors 247 The Broadway Wimbledon London SW19 1SE


 


JUDGE D PUGSLEY

1. In this case, we have had the benefit of Mr Carr giving a skeleton argument which, if we may say so, could serve as a template for the way in which skeleton arguments should be drafted. We are at times driven to distraction by skeleton arguments which are of too wide an ambit and often concerned to reargue the factual basis which a Tribunal did not accept at first instance.
2. This case raises real issues as to the issue of apprenticeship. This is often a very significant factor in industrial life. It is still important but due to the dramatic contraction in the number of apprenticeships offering different skills is one which perhaps is not met that often in the context of employment law.
3. We consider that the grounds set out by Mr Carr are such that they clearly give rise to arguable grounds of appeal which are formulated. Mr Carr who drafted the grounds of appeal does not seek leave to amend. We give the normal directions as to the skeleton arguments. There is no need for Chairman's Notes.
