Gbidi v Edwards and another

Employment tribunal – Procedure. The employment tribunal refused the claimant's application to bring proceedings for race discrimination against the second respondent and stayed proceedings pending a determination of conduct proceedings by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The Employment Appeal Tribunal, in allowing the claimant's appeal, held that the tribunal had not considered how, and to what extent, the second respondent had been prejudiced by delay. Further, the order imposing a stay was revoked, only because it had made the stay conditional on a determination by a particular committee and had named the wrong committee.
