Mr B Kristensen v Portman Healthcare Limited
The EAT set aside the ET decision. It found that suspension and the disciplinary investigation were detriments on the ground of a protected disclosure and remitted other issues.
Mr B Kristensen was employed by Portman Healthcare Limited as a dental hygienist. He was summarily dismissed on 30 September 2021. An ET dismissed his unfair dismissal and protected disclosure detriment complaints. He appealed.
The EAT allowed grounds 3, 6, 7 and 9. It set aside the ET decision of 14 August 2024. It substituted a judgment that the protected disclosure detriment complaint succeeds in relation to the suspension on 16 August 2021 and the disciplinary investigation. The wrongful dismissal complaint fails.
