• Disciplinary hearings: Teaching assistant had no art.6 right to legal representation at disciplinary hearing In R (on the application of G) v Governors of X School and Y City Council [2011] IRLR 756 SC, the Supreme Court held that a teaching assistant was not entitled to legal representation at a disciplinary hearing leading to dismissal, when the referral process that could lead to his appearance on a "barred list", which would end his ability to practise his profession, was entirely separate and distinct. (Employment Review)
• Religious discrimination: Constitution of a sufficient group sharing the claimant's beliefs In Chatwal v Wandsworth Borough Council EAT/0487/10, the EAT held that a tribunal erred by failing properly to consider the evidence that an employee from a branch of Amritdhari Sikhs had established that his beliefs were shared by a sufficient group of people to support his indirect discrimination claim. (Employment Review)
