J & J Stern v Simpson [1983] IRLR 52 EAT
(1 report relating to this case)
-
- Date:
- 8 February 1983
The Court of Appeal has established that if words of dismissal or resignation are unambiguous, they cannot be overridden by appeals to what a reasonable employee or employer might have taken them to mean. J & J Stern v Simpson the EAT holds that that does not mean that the words must initially be viewed in isolation, but that the surrounding circumstances are relevant to whether the words used are ambiguous.

J Terry v East Sussex County Council [1976] IRLR 332 EAT
(1 report relating to this case)
-
- Date:
- 1 October 1977
When the fixed term contract of a temporary employee expires without being renewed, the test of fairness may be less stringent than would be adopted for an employee whose status was not seen from the start as temporary. This is one of the points to emerge from Gwent County Council v Lane and Terry v East Sussex County Council.

Jacks v BMI Baby Ltd ET/3500664/10
(1 report relating to this case)
-
- Date:
- 26 July 2011
Employment tribunals do not have to delve too deeply into the reasons why an earlier warning was issued when an employee is later dismissed for further misconduct or poor performance while that warning is still live, as we can see from this judgment. They need to look behind the original warning only in exceptional circumstances, for example where there is evidence that it was issued in bad faith.
