EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The decision of a single judge of the Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was set aside and remitted to a three-person Employment Tribunal which dismissed the claim. This second appeal was misconceived. The task of the Employment Tribunal was not to decide who was driving the van, and whether dangerously or carefully, but whether the Respondent carried out as much investigation as was reasonable. On authority, the EAT would not readily intervene in a dismissal for conduct case, whether for the Claimant or the Respondent.
