A v Company B Ltd: 1997

The plaintiff had been called in and dismissed without being given any opportunity to defend himself. The company admitted unfair dismissal.
Held: Sir Richard Scott VC said: ‘I have to say that it seems to me grossly unfair that an employee should be dismissed for gross misconduct without being given any opportunity, any chance at all, of meeting the evidently serious allegations that had been made against him. Indeed, as an example of employment practice it seems to me outrageous.’
