EAT STATUTORY DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
Whether infringed
Employee lodged a grievance but stated that it was intended to be informal and not a statutory grievance. Employment Tribunal held that in the circumstances it could not be treated as a statutory grievance, and since no other grievance had been lodged prior to presenting the claim, the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the case.
EAT upheld the appeal and concluded that the grievance fell within the terms of the statute.
