UNFAIR DISMISSAL
HUMAN RIGHTS
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Restricted reporting order
Appeal against a decision to revoke an Anonymisation Order made at a final hearing. The Appellant worked for and was dismissed by a Probation Trust. At an early stage of her employment she had a relationship with a young man who had been a resident in one of the (then called) Bail Hostels run by the Respondent. They had a child. Disciplinary proceedings were instigated and she was dismissed. She requested that the Tribunal make an Order for a closed hearing. That application was granted, without a hearing, by way of the making of an Anonymisation Order pursuant to Rule 50 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013. When it was challenged at the final hearing the Order was revoked and a Restricted Reporting Order was made. That ceased to be of any effect upon promulgation of the Judgment. The Tribunal Judge erred in revoking the Anonymisation Order
