UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Contributory fault
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Polkey deduction
Following a finding that the Claimant had been unfairly dismissed, an Employment Tribunal erred at the Remedy stage in failing to give adequate reasons for the sequential reductions to a compensatory award it made (i) under Polkey and (ii) by way of contributory fault. It also erred in failing to explain why no similar reduction was applied to the basic award, and why no uplift was applied for breaches of the ACAS code identified in the Liability Judgment.
