Employment – Unfair dismissal. The employee appealed against the employment tribunal's dismissal of her case that she had been subjected to detriment and dismissed because of protected disclosures. The employer, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, appealed against the tribunal's finding of unfair dismissal and a reduction of 20% for contributory fault. The Employment Appeal Tribunal held that, in respect of protected disclosures, the tribunal had not precisely applied the statutory test in s 43A of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal had failed to apply the test in s 98 of the Act on the question of unfair dismissal. The appeal was also allowed on points related to contributory conduct and an item of expenses.
