The practice and guidance set out in English v Emery Reimbold and Strick Ltd (Practice Note)WLR ((2002) 1 WLR 2409), concerning the requirement of judges to give adequate reasons for their decisions, and the procedures to be adopted on an appeal brought on the ground of a failure to give such reasons, applied not only to the courts but to any tribunal which exercised similar powers, gave the opportunity for both sides to be heard before it and acted in accordance with the principles of natural justice.

Mills) so held on January 14, 2004 when dismissing an appeal by Miss Maureen Burns against the decision of an employment tribunal at Watford on September 16, 2003 to uphold its earlier decision on June 28, 2003 to strike out her claim against her former employer, Royal Mail Group plc, formerly Consignia plc, for unfair constructive dismissal.
