The Court of Appeal has given leave to Mr Nesbitt to appeal against a High Court judgment in this case. Mr Nesbitt's claimed against Gateshead Citizens Advice Bureau for negligence in making what he alleges was an unauthorised COT3 settlement agreement on his behalf in an employment tribunal case. The High Court ruled that it was an abuse of process for Mr Nesbitt to be suing the bureau as the Employment Tribunal had ruled that he had given the bureau authority to settle.
