Scott v Matthew Arnold and Baldwin Solicitors: EAT 19 May 2010

EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
In this unfair dismissal claim, the Employment Tribunal did not err in its approach to the Claimant’s claim that the Respondent failed to deal with her grievance and so broke the implied term.
As a matter of fact the Employment Judge did not announce a finding in favour of the Claimant at the end of the hearing and published reserved reasons dismissing her claim. The Judgment and reasons were both reserved and were consistent with dismissal. The retention of a (listed) date for a remedy hearing was misunderstood by the Claimant to mean she had won.
