EAT Unfair Dismissal: Reason for Dismissal Including Substantial Other Reason – Although the Employment Tribunal did not adopt the structured approach indicated by section 98(1) and (4) Employment Rights Act 1996, there was no error of law in its overall conclusion that dismissal was for some other substantial reason that justified dismissal of a nurse in the circumstances; and the dismissal fell within the band of reasonable responses in the circumstances of this case. The Employment Tribunal had sufficient regard to the balance of prejudice in coming to that conclusion. Absent any error of law or perversity, the Employment Appeal Tribunal cannot substitute its decision for that of the Employment Tribunal.
