Saunders v Department for Work and Pensions – Child Support Agency: EAT 14 Sep 2009

EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL: Constructive dismissal
In upholding the Claimant’s disability discrimination claim and dismissing her constructive dismissal claim, the Employment Tribunal misconstrued her letter of resignation, which was unequivocal save for invoking, as required, the grievance procedure, and failed to add the preceding conduct to the final straw. Omilaju applied, Norwest Holst distinguished.
Appeal allowed and constructive dismissal claim remitted to same Employment Tribunal.
