  • Can judge request evidence?

    In Prince Harry's legal case the Judge said he had no evidence, then asked Prince Harry's team to give him their best two examples of particular evidence to support their case. I know this case is different from an Employment Tribunal, but can an ET Judge make a similar request for evidence from respondent/claimant if by closing statements there is no evidence to support their case?

    It is for the parties to decide what evidence they wish to bring to support their case.

    The common saying is that the judge should not "descend into the arena".

          As a tribunal judge cant ask for evidence, can they conclude that the evidence you provided does not support the arguments or statements you make?
