Abstract

This article addresses those provisions of Employment Act (EA) 2002 (implemented on 1 October 2004) which introduce statutory disciplinary and grievance procedures. In particular, it will consider the impact of the new provisions on traditional approaches to procedural unfairness by employers, the doctrine established by the House of Lords in Polkey v A E Dayton Services and the calculation of compensation in these cases.

A significant recent decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal, handed down by Elias P. has answered a number of questions about the meaning of statutory language which is described as ‘elusively vague’ by the President of the EAT. Inevitably, further questions remain.
