SUMMARY

UNFAIR DISMISSAL

Reassessment of compensation for unfair dismissal

LORD JOHNSTON:

1.	This appeal arises from a previous decision of this Tribunal which allowed the appeal to the limited extent of seeking clarification from the Employment Tribunal on four aspects of compensation, namely, overtime, drawings from the appellant’s business, post-cessation of the employment with the respondents, and pension rights.

2.	In this respect, we merely refer to the Note submitted by the Chairman of the Employment Tribunal, consequent upon the decision of this Tribunal.

3.	We are content to adopt the reasoning in respect of that Note with one exception, namely, that there is an arithmetical error in terms of the loss of pension rights which should have run from February rather than May giving a total of thirteen months instead of ten.  To that extent, this appeal is allowed.

4.	In the circumstances the monetary award will therefore be increased by the sum of £450.
