This week Simon and David discuss the case of Ian Drury v Ministry of Defence.
The Claimant succeeded with claims of Unfair and Wrongful Dismissal. The Claimant stated he had suspended himself and there were concerns for the Claimant’s mental ill health. The Claimant was then dismissed for gross misconduct relating to his absence without leave, irrespective of these concerns.
They also discuss the determination that a 25% reduction in compensation should apply under the Polkey principle and the importance of only treating an Occupational Health report as advice, as it cannot replace the responsibility for management to make appropriate internal decisions.
There are also Ian Drury song references for our listeners!
