Unite the Union and another v Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive

Did the Court of Appeal err in:
  1. holding that rectification is not available for a collective agreement which is not intended to be a legally enforceable contract;
  2. refusing to allow the claim to be amended;
  3. holding that an employment tribunal has power to reject a complaint on the grounds of rectification;
  4. holding that it would be an abuse of process to raise rectification in respect of past complaints and/or that a claim for rectification was estopped; and
  5. its holding on privity of interest.

“The lawyer’s truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.”

Henry D. Thoreau
The High Court rejected the Unions’ arguments and dismissed the strike-out and summary judgment applications. On appeal, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Unions. Nexus now seeks permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
