Redundancy: Discovery of assessment forms must relate to issues raised

In British Aerospace plc v Green, the Court of Appeal considers the guiding principles for ordering discovery of marked assessment forms in cases where redundant employees claim that they were unfairly selected. The Court holds that, unless a document is relevant to some issue which has been expressly raised at the particular stage reached in industrial tribunal proceedings, its disclosure cannot be said to be necessary at that stage for the fair disposal of the case.
