EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS: 2002 Act and pre-action requirements
An internal appeal against dismissal was not fixed until 6 months later. The Claimant citing the delay refused to attend. The appeal panel went ahead without him. The Employment Tribunal held the delay to be unreasonable. It was correct to hold the DDP had been ‘completed’ there being no requirement that it be attended by the Claimant. Fair dismissal upheld.
