Case No. UKUT-0269-(LC)

plus a basic loss payment calculated (incorrectly) at £12,000. The Council’s statement of case in reply was filed on 11 December 2015. In an email to the Tribunal dated 8 February 2017 the Council’s solicitors pointed out that neither its statement of case nor Ms McLoughlin’s expert witness report of 15 February 2016 had dealt with the claims by the second and third claimants. Permission was thus sought to formally join the second and third claimants to the reference, to file an amended statement of case, and submit a brief supplementary expert report to cover these claims. Permission was granted by an Order dated 16 February 2017 and the relevant documents were filed and served on 27 and 28 February 2017 respectively.
