JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING EX-PARTE
For the Appellant | IN PERSON |
MR JUSTICE MORISON: This is an appeal against a remedies decision of an Employment Tribunal which was promulgated on 14 January 1999.
"which we think can only have been prepared by an employer who is either dishonest, or at least aware of the procedures which had been adopted thus far were completely unrelated to the proper procedures which ought to have been followed, or were open to misinterpretation"
and they found that there was a belated attempt by the college to reverse the process and make it appear that proper procedures had been followed by requiring the Applicant to sign a particular document.
"If the Respondents had been dealing with the Applicant in a bona fide manner, we think Dr Parker would have had no difficulty at all on 17 July in finding Mr Clancy something, however part-time, to satisfy his remaining on the books and qualifying for his early retirement at age 50. Dr Parker would have known of the general range and diversity of the Applicant and his ability to teach in areas which transcended the College disciplines. He would have known of the annual round of advertisements and part-time appointments. He could easily have promised something, if not necessarily being specific at the time, discussing actual hours available at the re-instated notice period. The fact that this was not considered leads us to believe that Dr Parker was not dealing with the applicant in good faith."
