Unfair dismissal
This week's case round-up from Eversheds, covering unfair dismissal.
Joe Glavina and Emma Slark at Addleshaw Goddard bring you a comprehensive update on the latest decisions that could affect your organisation, and provide advice on what to do about them.
In Bunning v G T Bunning & Sons Ltd, the Court of Appeal holds that the tribunal was correct to find the employer in breach of its obligation to carry out a risk assessment for a pregnant worker under reg.16 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
In Kerry Foods Ltd v Lynch, the EAT holds that the tribunal had erred in finding that the claimant was constructively dismissed. Giving lawful notice cannot of itself constitute a breach of the implied term of trust and confidence. The employee had resigned prematurely.
In Scott & Co v Richardson, the EAT holds that the employment tribunal failed to apply the correct tests to discover whether the employer had some other substantial reason for dismissing the employee and substituted its own view of the evidence, leading to the conclusion that the employer had no other substantial reason for dismissal.
Judith Harris of Addleshaw Goddard brings you a comprehensive update on the latest decisions that could affect your organisation, and provides advice on what to do about them.
In Forshaw and others v Archcraft Ltd, the EAT holds that the employment tribunal erred in holding that a dismissal for refusing to sign a contract of employment that contained an unreasonable restraint of trade clause was for "some other substantial reason".
