EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Constructive dismissal
SEX DISCRIMINATION – Inferring discrimination
The Employment Tribunal had conflated the common law concept of affirmation of contract after breach with extension of the time limited for submission of a claim because it had not been reasonably practicable to present it in time and on that ground the appeal succeeded and the issue was remitted to a differently constituted Employment Tribunal for a re-hearing.
There had been no error of law in the conclusion reached that there had been no sex discrimination and the appeal was dismissed on that point.
