EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – New evidence on appeal
The Claimant was an employee of the council, experienced in accounts and housing matters. The Employment Tribunal decided that her failure when presenting as homeless, to disclose that she owned a house, justified her dismissal. The contention that the council failed adequately to investigate the situation was rejected, as were allegations of bias against a Tribunal member. Application to adduce new evidence refused: Francis v Castle Rock Properties Ltd applied.
