High Court upholds a determination of the Employment Appeals Tribunal that there was no agreement the respondent would retire from working in the appellant's shop on her 66th birthday, on the grounds that the court does not concern itself with the merits of the decision in an appeal based on an error of law, and the tribunal decision was not based on any error of law.
Employment law - appellant sought to have determination of the Employment Appeals Tribunal overturned - Tribunal had held in respondent's favour - respondent worked in appellant's shop for 40 years - appellant claimed it was implied that the respondent would retire at 66 - Tribunal found that there was no agreement that the respondent would retire on her 66th birthday - courts should be slow to interfere with the decisions of expert tribunals - in an appeal on a question of law, the court does not go into the merits of the decision - Tribunal decision not based on any error of law - appeal rejected.
