Mixed outcome
Unfair Dismissal, Constructive Dismissal, Whistleblowing and Breach of Contract
Heard at London East
The claimant won his constructive unfair dismissal claim because the respondent's flawed disciplinary process, trumped-up charges, and unfair final written warning cumulatively breached the implied term of trust and confidence, but lost his whistleblowing claims because the protected disclosure did not materially influence the respondent's actions.
Legal Issues (2)
- Constructive dismissal: breach of implied term of trust and confidence
- whether a series of acts cumulatively amounted to a repudiatory breach. Whistleblowing: whether the protected disclosure was the principal reason for the detrimental acts or the constructive dismissal
