According to Section 13.1.1 of the Practice Direction of the Employment Appeal Tribunal 2023 an appeal from the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) to the Court of Appeal could be made only on a point of law and not of fact because it is stated the following:
“13.1.1. A party seeking permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal must concisely state the point(s) of law to be advanced and the grounds.”
I would like to know on which statute law or case law this Practice Direction is based.
Because Civil Practice Direction 52 says concerning the grounds of appeal says only:
“Grounds of appeal
5.
(1) The grounds of appeal must identify as concisely as possible the respects in which the judgment of the court below is –
(a) wrong; or
(b) unjust because of a serious procedural or other irregularity,
as required by rule 52.21(3).”
But it does not say that the ground of appeal could be only on points of law and not of facts
