EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Compensation
Employment Tribunal decided that the employment of the Claimant would have come to an end within 9 months, and thus limited compensation to that period for a dismissal on the ground of conduct, yet where contributory fault was only 20 per cent. As examples of the possible conduct which might precipitate the anticipated dismissal the Tribunal had relied predominantly on behaviour which the employee was entitled to adopt. Its decision was insufficiently reasoned and in the light of the legitimate behaviour apparently relied on as potentially leading to a justified dismissal might be wrong: the Appeal Tribunal remitted the case.
