Barke v SEETEC Business Technology Centre Ltd: EAT 13 Jan 2006

EAT The Tribunal rejected the employee’s claims that there had been constructive unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. On her appeal:
(1) In deciding to reject the constructive unfair dismissal claim the Tribunal failed to consider whether the accumulation of matters of which the employee complained amounted to a fundamental breach of the implied term of trust of confidence and considered only whether each matter was a breach.
(2) The Tribunal failed to approach what was said to be the last straw on the basis that it did not have to be a breach of contract.
(3) The Tribunal’s answers to questions posed by the EAT formed part of their judgment as a whole but did not remedy the faults.
(4) The Tribunal’s conclusions as to individual acts of disability discrimination were unassailable.
Lewis v Motorworld, Meikle and Omilaju applied. Appeal allowed in part. Remission of U.D and D.D by dismissal to new Tribunal.
