EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL: Compensation
The Claimant was unfairly dismissed. She found work, which paid more than the old job but then it paid less and this lesser rate was paid at the date of the remedy assessment. The Employment Tribunal found the new job was inherently insecure and awarded the sum claimed of one year’s forward loss at the mitigated rate. Between dismissal and assessment she earned more in total than in the old job. The Employment Tribunal did not err when it did not give the employer credit for this sum toward the forward loss. Dench principles considered.
