EAT Contract of Employment : Wrongful Dismissal – UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Employment Tribunal found that the Claimant was fairly but wrongfully dismissed following a disciplinary matter and awarded 12 weeks pay for loss of notice. Both sides appealed. Both appeal and cross-appeal allowed and the matter remitted to the same ET. On the unfair dismissal the ET had not expressly considered whether dismissal was ‘within the range of reasonable responses’ and in particular the relevance of C’s long service and good record. On wrongful dismissal the ET had made two apparently contradictory statements as to whether R had been entitled to dismiss summarily for repudiatory breach.
