Series 12 Episode 3

Dave and Simon are back with another employment law case – and this one has some fairly remarkable facts…

⚖️ The case: Wright v D Douglas t/a Harlequin Property Services

The case involved an unfair dismissal claim brought by a long-serving Property Manager who had worked for the family-run business since 1997. The Tribunal found that she had actually resigned rather than been dismissed – and went on to consider allegations that she had improperly taken more than £21,000 from the business and directed tenants to pay rent into her personal bank account.

Dave talks us through the facts of the case, before Simon takes over to look at the judgment – including the Tribunal’s finding that, even if there had been an unfair dismissal, the claimant’s conduct meant she would have received no basic or compensatory award.

They also touch on the really pressing issues of the day…

• Dave’s holiday to Canada – which unfortunately included a broken toe.
• Who would win in a fight: a shark or a crocodile?
• And perhaps the most controversial question of all… is brain offal?

Employment law. Holiday injuries. Animal combat. Organ classification. What more do you want?
