EAT Scotland stays appeal in EAT England

NCC1701-A

If I want to appeal against the stay of this claim, I would have to make my appeal to the court of session because the stay was imposed by the Employment Tribunal of Scotland. However, the decisions of the Court of Session are not binding in England and the claim which has been stayed is in England. However, can this work?

(Pay for &) ask a lawyer.

I'm sorry but you also misunderstand that there is only one Employment Appeals Tribunal.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal has jurisdiction for appeals from both the Employment Tribunal (England and Wales) and the Employment Tribunal (Scotland); all the countries of Great Britain

The Employment Appeals Tribunal can consequently make stay orders (and other case management directions) for appeals against decisions of both the Employment Tribunal (England and Wales) and the Employment Tribunal (Scotland). 

All this is stated on the Employment Appeals Tribunal website, in it's rules and practice directions (links can be found earlier in the thread) along with information on appeals against decisions of the Employment Appeals Tribunal to the Court of Appeal or the Court of  Session.

Superior courts rarely interfere with the case management decisions of lower courts and tribunals. Permission to appeal to the higher court must be sought on the grounds that the decision was not permissible in law.

 Can I appeal to the Court of Session on the ground that it is not in the interest of justice to stay the claim?

 I am not an expert but If an appeal to a higher court can only be on the grounds that the decision was not permissible in law then I don't think so.

If you don't know after reading both the EAT rules and practice direction then you need professional advice.

The practice direction gives a list of places and organisations for legal advice about errors of law; this forum is not on that list.
