Following Oliver’s recent appointment as a member of our Employment group here at No5 Barristers’ Chambers, Oliver has been successful in a two-day Employment Tribunal hearing.
The Claimant was summarily dismissed for gross misconduct. The Tribunal found procedural and substantive flaws in the investigation that placed the dismissal outside the range of reasonable responses. The appeal repeated those flaws and failed to remedy them by not offering a face-to-face hearing. The Tribunal upheld the unfair and wrongful dismissal claims. A remedy hearing will be listed.
