Aramark Ltd v Yahiaoui: EAT 30 Oct 2009

EAT STATUTORY DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
Whether infringed
UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reasonableness of dismissal
SEX DISCRIMINATION
Burden of proof
The Employment Tribunal erred in relation to the Disputes Procedure: finding that the Appellant employer failed to provide a statement in compliance with Step 1 (Alexander considered) when it plainly did, and that the Respondent employee complied with the grievance procedure when he did not put his grievances into writing (a note taken at the meeting by the Appellant’s note-taker being insufficient: Kennedy Scott distinguished). No error of law in relation to the dismissal being unfair or discriminatory.
