Morris v Metrolink Ratpdev Ltd UKEAT/0113/16/RN, [2017] All ER (D) 89 (Jan)

The Employment Appeal Tribunal, in allowing the employer’s appeal, held that the employment tribunal had erred in holding that the dismissal of the employee for storing and sharing confidential information, for trade union purposes, was protected under s 152 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The tribunal’s findings of automatic unfair dismissal and ordinary unfair dismissal were set aside.
