EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
UNLAWFUL DEDUCTION FROM WAGES
VICTIMISATION DISCRIMINATION – Whistleblowing
In this case the claim that the dismissal was due to a protected disclosure failed but the Claimant succeeded in his claim for unfair dismissal under section 98 and 98A of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The Appellant’s argument as to the adequacy of the reasons was really an argument as to facts and the decision was upheld in the light of the gloss put upon Meek v Birmingham City Council [1987] IRLR 250 by English v Emery Reimbold and Strick [2002] 1 WLR 2409. A without prejudice letter intimating a claim in the High Court could not be construed as a grievance for the purpose of an employment tribunal action for unlawful deductions.
