Steele v Boston Borough Council [2003] All ER (D) 126 (Jan) EAT

Unfair dismissal compensation: Payment by transferee deducted from unfair dismissal award against transferor

Date:

20 June 2003

In Steele v Boston Borough Council, the EAT holds that in assessing compensation for a complainant who successfully claimed unfair dismissal against his employer, it was just and equitable under the statutory provisions to deduct from his award a payment which he had already received under the terms of an agreement made, not with the employer, but with the transferee of the employer's business.
