This week Simon and David discuss the case of Maxwell v HBOS Plc.

The Claimant had a long-term sickness absence and the Tribunal had to consider whether that was sufficient reason for dismissal.

They discuss the Tribunal’s considerations in respect of whether a fair process had been conducted.

The Tribunal concluded that the Claimant was in an entrenched position with a loss of faith in the Respondent and there was no realistic prospect of him returning within any reasonable time frame.

The Claimant’s claim for Unfair Dismissal was subsequently dismissed.

Listeners will also find out about Simon and David’s recent travels.
