EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION – Direct
Dismissal of Senior Crown Prosecutor by Crown Prosecution Service for gross misconduct – making malicious and vexatious allegations.
It was argued that the Tribunal failed to give properly reasons in respect of two arguments raised by the Claimant – (1) the dismissal took place on a false assumption that definitive findings of malicious and vexatious conduct had already been made during the investigation of a grievance and (2) the sanction of dismissal was not appropriate given the classification of offences within the Respondent’s disciplinary policy. It was also argued that the Tribunal’s conclusions in respect of (2) were perverse.
Held: the Tribunal’s reasons were sufficient and were not perverse.
