EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
The Claimant was dismissed for misconduct. She claimed automatic unfair dismissal, unfair and wrongful dismissal, race discrimination and victimisation. Only the wrongful and unfair dismissal claims succeeded; compensation of just over andpound;1,000 was awarded for unfair dismissal, reduced by 30 per cent for contributory conduct and failure to appeal.
The Claimant’s appeal against the reductions from compensation for unfair dismissal were not pursued; the amount involved was too small; they were not abandoned, in case they be of relevance to compensation for discrimination / victimisation. The EAT, therefore, considered the appeal against the rejection of those claims. The EAT concluded that the Tribunal, in respect of both claims had made decisions on the facts, had made no error of law and that none of their facts and findings had been shown to be perverse.
The other grounds of appeal were, in the light of the above, not pursued.
