EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Compensation
The Tribunal awarded compensation to the Claimant up to the date when he became unfit for work (at least for a time) due to a supervening illness. It treated any loss after this date as not attributable to the Respondent’s action in dismissing the Claimant. This was an error of law; the Tribunal ought to have considered for how long thereafter the Claimant might have been employed by the Respondent, whether he might again have become fit for work during that period, and what sick pay or other benefits he would have received during that period.
