EAT Unfair Dismissal : Procedural Fairness/Automatically Unfair Dismissal – UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Employment Appeal Tribunal held that the Employment Tribunal had erred in law in deciding that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed. The Employment Tribunal did not make any finding whether the Respondent had a reasonable belief that the Claimant was guilty of the misconduct described in the letter of dismissal; and it took into account irrelevant considerations, and failed to take into account relevant considerations, in holding that the dismissal was procedurally and substantively unreasonable.
