Employment – Unfair dismissal. The employee consultant neonatologist was dismissed for bullying colleagues. She brought a claim for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination, alleging that the employer had failed to make reasonable adjustments in respect of her dyslexia. The employment tribunal (the tribunal) held that the dismissal had been unfair, but dismissed the reasonable adjustments claim on the facts. The Employment Appeal Tribunal, dismissing the appeal and cross-appeal from the finding on unfair dismissal, held, among other things, that the tribunal had not erred in holding the dismissal to be unfair or in its decision that there should be no Polkey reduction.
