Maternity leave: Redundancy form sent to employee's inaccessible work email address

South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust v Jackson and others EAT/0090/18

discrimination | pregnancy and maternity leave | communications over possible redundancies

In South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust v Jackson and others, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) held that, as long as the miscommunication came from an administrative error, an employee whose redundancy redeployment form was sent to an inaccessible work email address was not unfavourably treated because she was on maternity leave.
