Unfair dismissal remedies: Not practicable to re-engage Tilbury shop stewards

When deciding whether to order the re-employment of an unfairly dismissed employee, an industrial tribunal only has to make a "provisional" determination or assessment on the practicability of the employer complying with such an order, holds the Court of Appeal in Port of London Authority v Payne and others. A final conclusion on the question of practicability only has to be reached in the event of the employer's non-compliance with an order which has been made.
