    BASIC POSITION

    CAUTION: go to notes on Equality Act 2010/changes made by the Act for changes to discrimination law in effect from 1st October 2010. The unique emplaw EA 2010 cross-reference tool will locate new statutory references for you.

    A drafting omission from what is now the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 s.21 (then known as the Industrial Tribunals Act 1996) meant that for a while the EAT had no jurisdiction to hear appeals in contract claim cases (see Pendragon plc v Jackson 1998 ICR 215, EAT).

    The position was rectified retrospectively by a suitable provision slipped into the Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998.
