Something else I missed last week was this interesting Employment Appeal Tribunal case, dealing with the fairness of a dismissal during paternity leave. I spotted it because of a note posted at Lexology by Louise Fernandes of Field Fisher Waterhouse.
I’m a bit concerned about this ruling. Surely but for the paternity leave, the employee would never have had the heated row with his boss. Isn’t that causal enough for the EAT?
