Case Summary
The claimant's claim for unfair dismissal was upheld. The tribunal found that the respondent's actions, including failing to properly deal with the claimant's grievances, proposing changes to her contractual terms, and discrimination/bullying, amounted to a fundamental breach of the implied term of trust and confidence. The claimant resigned in response to this breach and was therefore constructively and unfairly dismissed.
Why this outcome?
The tribunal found that the respondent breached the implied term of trust and confidence through failure to properly address grievances, proposed detrimental changes to contractual terms, and discriminatory/bullying conduct, which justified the claimant's resignation and amounted to constructive unfair dismissal.
