UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reason for dismissal including substantial other reason
PUBLIC INTEREST DISCLOSURE
In this whistleblowing case, the Claimant had an opportunity to refute an allegation of bad faith, which the Employment Tribunal upheld. Lucas v Chichester Diocesan Housing Assocition Ltd EAT/0713/04; Street v Derbyshire Unemployed Workers’ Centre [2004] IRLR 167 applied. The Employment Tribunal upheld a catalogue of 20 acts of misconduct against her. It did not err when it held as matter of fact that the principal reason for her dismissal and her treatment was nothing to do with whistleblowing but was her gross misconduct.
