Watson v London Metropolitan University: EAT 25 Feb 2015

EAT Trade Union Rights: Action Short of Dismissal
The Claimant had complained under section 146(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that he had been subjected to a detriment for union-related activities.
The Employment Tribunal rejected the complaint and the Claimant appealed. The appeal was dismissed: the Employment Tribunal had properly applied the ‘reverse onus’ provision at section 148(1) of the Act and their conclusion could not be described as ‘perverse’.
