EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Automatically unfair reasons
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reason for dismissal including substantial other reason
The Employment Judge erred in holding that dismissal for storing and sharing confidential information for trade union purposes enjoyed the protection of Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (‘TULRCA’) section 152. Finding of ‘automatic’ unfair dismissal set aside.
The finding of ‘ordinary’ unfair dismissal under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 98 was based on the finding under TULRCA section 152 also set aside.
Claims remitted to an Employment Tribunal for rehearing.
