  J & J Stern v Simpson [1983] IRLR 52 EAT (1 report relating to this case)

  • Dismissal: Words of dismissal viewed in context

    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.

  • Unfair dismissal: Different standard of fairness for temporary employees

    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.

  J v DLA Piper UK LLP [2010] IRLR 936 EAT (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Disability discrimination: Difference between "despondency, demotivation and anxiety" and "clinical depression"

    Date:

    27 October 2010

    In J v DLA Piper UK LLP [2010] IRLR 936 EAT, the EAT held that, in considering whether or not the employee was disabled, the tribunal was wrong to exclude the evidence of a GP as being "not expert". In remitting the case to the tribunal, it emphasised that there is a difference between "despondency, demotivation and anxiety" caused by problems at work and "clinical depression".

  Jack Allen (Sales & Service) Ltd v Smith [1999] IRLR 19 CS (1 report relating to this case)

  • Restrictive covenants: No interim injunction where employer failed to show loss

    Date:

    15 February 1999

    An employer was not entitled to an interim order enforcing covenants prohibiting a former employee from disclosing confidential information and enticing away customers, because it could not show that any potential or actual harm would arise from breach of those covenants, holds the Court of Session in Jack Allen (Sales & Service) Ltd v Smith.

  Jacks v BMI Baby Ltd ET/3500664/10 (1 report relating to this case)

  • Cabin-crew member on final written warning fairly dismissed for misplacing security pass

    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.
