Celebi v Scolarest Compass Group UK & Ireland Ltd UKEAT/0032/10/LA
Appeal against a decision by the Tribunal that the claimant was fairly dismissed.

Appeal succeeded.

Watkins v Jeanette Crouch T/A Temple Bird Solicitors UKEAT/0145/10/ZT
Appeal against a finding by the Tribunal that the claimant was not unfairly dismissed following a redundancy exercise.

Appeal succeeded and matter remitted to a different Tribunal for a rehearing.

Shackletons Garden Centre Ltd v Lowe UKEAT/0161/10/JOJ
Appeal against ruling that the claimant had been indirectly discriminated against because the employer applied a Provision, Criterion or Practice (“PCP”) whereby its employees had to work weekends which put women to a particular disadvantage. The EAT found that there were insufficient findings of fact to enable them to come to that conclusion; in particular they could not identify what constituted the disadvantage imposed on the claimant and whether or not the detriment suffered by the claimant was self inflicted. Appeal succeeded and remitted to a different Tribunal.

Secretary of State for Work & Pensions v Wakefield UKEAT/0435/09/JOJ
Appeal by employer against a decision by the ET that, whilst the claimant had not been discriminated against by reason of disability, the employer had failed to make reasonable adjustments. The EAT found that no proper identification of the substantial disadvantage had been made and therefore the ET could not make a proper assessment of what steps it would be reasonable for the employer to take. Appeal succeeded and remitted to the same Tribunal for re-consideration.

Kelly v University of Southampton UKEAT/0139/10/LA
Appeal by claimant against a ruling by the ET that her compensation for unfair and wrongful dismissal should be limited because she failed to mitigate her loss. The claimant was dismissed following the expiration of her work visa, and once this was sorted out, she failed to re-apply for her old job or other jobs at the University for which she was suitable and which the ET found she would probably have been offered. Appeal dismissed.

Cross appeal against a ruling that a second group of claimants had complied with the SGP. Appeal succeeded and cross appeal dismissed.
