Gee v Shell UK Ltd [2003] IRLR 82 CA (1 other report)
The Court of Appeal has issued a warning to employment tribunals not to be too hasty to issue costs warnings to people who bring unfair dismissal claims.
The move comes in a ruling in Gee v Shell UK Ltd, where the applicant, who had alleged unfair dismissal, abandoned her claim because she feared losing her home if the case was unsuccessful.
