EAT The claimant was dismissed on the basis of a medical report which found that he was unfit to return to work. The tribunal found that the respondents should not have relied on the report as it was prepared on the basis of an erroneous view as to his job content. They concluded that that erroneous view must have come from a communication to its author from the respondents. The EAT held that the decision of the tribunal was perverse; that conclusion was central to their decision but was not open to them. They should, also, have granted the respondents’ application for review.
