Article summary

Employment analysis: A claimant bringing a claim that his dismissal was automatically unfair under section 104(1)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) because he asserted a statutory right must show that he made an allegation that there had been an infringement of a statutory right, not merely that his employer may, or would, or threatened to, or intended to infringe such a right, according to the EAT.
