Manual of Employment Appeals

The Court of Appeal have recently cited Manual of Employment Appeals in handing down judgment in Woodhouse School and Martin Webster as follows: 'Although I do not think that it affects the outcome of this appeal, the procedure followed by the EAT in putting questions to the ET and the response of the ET chairman in this case calls for a firm reminder of the importance of taking care to observe the limits of the exceptional Burns/Barke procedure, as it has come to be called following the decision of the EAT in Burns v. Royal Mail Group plc (formerly Consignia plc) [2004] ICR 1103 and the decision of this court in Barke v. SEETEC Business Technology Centre Ltd [2005] ICR 1373.
