Weare v HBOS plc: EAT 28 Oct 2008

EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS: 2002 Act and pre-action requirements
The EAT upheld an appeal by the employee against a decision of the Employment Tribunal which held that it had no jurisdiction to hear certain claims alleging discrimination by reason of having made protected disclosures because the employee had failed to comply with the statutory grievance procedures. The EAT held that where a grievance is raised referring to the decision to initiate disciplinary procedures, it will relate also to disciplinary steps taken in the course of carrying out the disciplinary process. To that extent, therefore, the appeal succeeded.
