DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd v Doolan: EAT 13 Apr 2011

EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reasonableness of dismissal
Reinstatement/Re-engagement
Unfair dismissal. Capability. Appeal against finding of unfair dismissal upheld; the Employment Tribunal had no basis for finding that the employers were not entitled to conclude, on the expert evidence available to them, that the Claimant was fit to return to work to perform the job of production manager and had also substituted their own view as to whether or not the Claimant should have been dismissed for that of the reasonable employer.
