    If more than one employee brings their own individual case to the likes of an EAT, can one cases have a bearing on the other?

    Not sure what you mean.

    Precedents are and can be set in the EAT.

    IMO an employer would not want to be involved in multiple cases for the same reason e.g. bullying - it wouldn't necessarily look good for them - unless they were winning!

    I do not think the EAT has any mechanism for hearing so-called 'class actions' - they don't really work in Ireland I believe - but I'm not a legal type so happy to be corrected.

    If you mean does one complaint re for example unfair dismissals being returned unsuccessfully for the employee mean that any other complaint by any other employee against that employer even involving the same incident will be returned unsuccesfull, then no. Each complaint is dealt with on its own merits.
