UNFAIR DISMISSAL
An Employment Tribunal (‘ET’) did not err in law in permitting a hearing to proceed notwithstanding clear indications of illness on the part of a Claimant, who was adamant that the hearing should proceed. However, the ET erred in law in treating the procedural shortcomings which it identified as redeemed by the substantial merits of the case. A finding of unfair dismissal was substituted for the ET’s finding that the dismissal was fair, and the case was remitted for a hearing on remedy, to include contribution and Polkey issues.
