Date:

1 February 2000

An employer's investigation of the mileage claims of a number of trade union members actively involved in their union's publicity campaign against the employer's withdrawal of essential car user allowances did not amount to unlawful action short of dismissal for the purpose of preventing or deterring them from taking part in trade union activities, holds the EAT in Marshall and others v Hampshire Probation Service.
