EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS
Working outside the jurisdiction
Respondent’s appeal against ET judgment that there was jurisdiction to determine Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim. Post the Lawson v Serco analysis, and considering Hunt v United Airlines this appeal raised the question of an employee absent from work at the time of dismissal because he was suspended or on garden leave. ET judge was held to have misdirected herself on the test to be applied. Appeal allowed and matter remitted to be re-determined.
