SUMMARY
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
The employment tribunal failed properly to consider the open justice principle, including the
importance of naming names, in ordering the anonymisation of all clients of the first respondent and
failed to apply the necessary step by step consideration of the application for redaction of documents

to the employment tribunal.
