Employment law

Kitsons Environmental Europe Ltd v Hendry (EAT, 24/6/2008)

In a case where a tribunal is assessing compensation for unfair dismissal and an issue of contributory conduct arises, the tribunal must:

(i) ask whether the claimant conducted himself in a culpable fashion;

(ii) make a finding as to whether or not the matters to which the complaint relates were caused or contributed to by that conduct; and

(iii) make a finding that it is just and equitable to reduce compensation accordingly, to a specified extent. The tribunal must explain its reasoning in respect of each of these three matters.
