EAT Unfair dismissal – Constructive dismissal
The Claimant, a long serving charge nurse accused of institutional abuse of patients, was suspended in breach of contract for she was not offered trade union representation at a suspension meeting. Suspension, and the refusal to lift it at an investigatory meeting, destroyed the relationship of trust and confidence without reasonable cause. The Claimant retired as a result of that treatment. The majority Employment Tribunal Judgment of constructive unfair dismissal was upheld.
