EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reasonableness of dismissal
S.98A(2) ERA
The Employment Tribunal did not err in law or substitute its own judgment in concluding that meetings: where the employee’s assessment score in a redundancy selection exercise were handed to her during the meeting; and where the decision to dismiss had already been taken whatever she might have said did not satisfy step 2 of the statutory procedure.
Where the employer counted the same incident twice under different headings in the matrix and where that made the difference between being selected and not being selected for redundancy, the Tribunal did not err or substitute its own judgment in concluding that the dismissal was unfair.
