London Borough of Brent v Finch: EAT 29 Nov 2011

EAT Unfair Dismissal : Reasonableness of Dismissal – The Claimant was dismissed for three reasons connected with misconduct. She did not advance any other reason, or say these were a pretext for a dismissal on grounds of dishonesty. The Employment Tribunal erred in rejecting the Respondent’s reasons and finding dishonesty: Wilson and ASLEF v Brady applied. The Employment Tribunal did not make findings against the Burchell test on the three reasons advanced by the Respondent, one of which was admitted by the Claimant. Remitted to a fresh Employment Tribunal.
