The appellant solicitor had been employed by the respondent. They wrote to dismiss her, after failing to obtain funding. She issued proceedings on the basis that she had been victimised after giving evidence for a co-worker in other proceedings against the Federation. The tribunal, having found the lack of funding proved, considered that to be the reason for the dismissal, and found against her. The Tribunal asserted it had used its case management powers.
Held: The tribunal had erred in splitting the issues, and effectively failing to consider the applicant’s case. Case remitted for re-hearing.
