EAT Unfair Dismissal : Reasonableness of Dismissal – MATERNITY RIGHTS AND PARENTAL LEAVE – The decision of the Employment Tribunal that the dismissal of the Claimant for redundancy was fair was based on an erroneous view of the content of jobs that may have been available to be offered to her. Further, in assessing the fairness of her dismissal, the ET failed to consider whether or reached a perverse conclusion that there had been adequate consultation with the Claimant. The dismissal by the majority of the claim under Regulation 10 of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations etc 1999 was undermined by the misapprehension of the content and availability of alternative posts.
