    RECORDER SLADE QC

  1. This is the preliminary hearing of an appeal by AMBA Transport Services The appeal is against a decision of an Employment Tribunal sitting at Ashford in Kent on 17 December 1999, that the Respondent do pay the Applicant the sum of £344.56. That sum is comprised of arrears of wages and also an amount in respect of holiday entitlement.

  2. The Respondent AMBA Couriers did not appear at the hearing before the Tribunal at Ashford. After the decision there appears to have been a request for a review of the proceedings. Mr Alistair McGrath of AMBA Couriers was directed to explain why he was not present at the hearing. The Tribunal indicated that upon receiving a reply it would consider whether to review the decision made. There was no response to the letter from the Employment Tribunal office making that request for explanation and the application for review was refused.

  3. Today, the matter having been set down for a preliminary hearing of the appeal, we have just been shown a letter from Mr McGrath referring to a conversation with the Applicant in which he states that the Applicant would settle for a certain figure. It is to be noted that at the time of the Tribunal hearing in December 1999 there had been an offer, it was said by Mr McGrath, to pay a certain sum to the Applicant.

  4. We, having considered the papers, do not consider that the Appeal raises a reasonably arguable point of law; bank holidays and public holidays are not to be deducted from annual leave. Accordingly we dismiss this appeal.
