UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Automatically unfair reasons
On the true construction of section 104(1)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, there must be an allegation by an employee that there has been an infringement of a statutory right, not merely that the employer may, or will, or threatens to, or intends to infringe such a right. Mennell v Newell and Wright (Transport Contractors) Limited [1997] IRLR 519 considered.
Appeal dismissed.
