  Dentons Directories Ltd v Hobbs EAT/821/96 (1 other report)

  • Maternity rights: Pregnancy dismissal requires employer's knowledge of pregnancy

    Date:

    15 September 1997

    The dismissal of a pregnant employee could not be said to have been for a reason connected with her pregnancy, and so automatically unfair, as the employer did not know that she was pregnant until after it gave her notice of dismissal, holds the EAT in Dentons Directories Ltd v Hobbs.
