Perry & Anor v A Decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal - costs applications are matter for ET's discretion

Applications for costs are matters for the exercise of the discretion of the tribunal

Mrs Perry and another, in this appeal against a decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal, had both brought claims before the ET for certain payment in terms of section 17 of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. Their claims were against their employers Turning Point Scotland and were based on a dispute as to whether they had been underpaid having regard to the NMWA by virtue of a failure by the employer, to make payment in respect of sleepover times at work.
