In our latest episode Nick looks at a case where the employee tried to rely on the GDPR and Human Rights to prevent disciplinary proceedings being taken against her. We also look at a case where the employer’s decision to dismiss was taken in ignorance of a relevant piece of information, which was known to its investigator. Finally we have a surprising case of a fair dismissal where there was no warning, no process and no possibility of appeal. To follow Nick on Twitter, please go to Nicholas Robertson@NicholasRober11.
