Ian Smith, our resident employment guru, proves that two’s company, three or more’s a crowd...
- London Borough of Lambeth v Agoreyo: was suspension a breach of contract?
- Gregg’s case (1): was payment of wages due during a third party suspension?
- Gregg’s case (2): the relationship between internal disciplinary procedures and police investigation.
Only two cases are considered this month. They are both Court of Appeal decisions with an overlap between them on how to deal with a suspension from employment; the second one also considers how an employer should decide whether to proceed with an internal disciplinary procedure while there are continuing police investigations into the same facts. One aspect that is common to both of these legal issues is that they sound as if they should have well-established answers after all these years.
However, those of us steeped (if not pickled) in employment law will not be surprised to be told by the court that they raise complicated points out of proportion
