Ms L Fairhall v University Hospital of North Tees and Hartlepool Foundation Trust — 2019

The tribunal at Teesside Justice Hearing Centre, before Employment Judge Johnson with members Mr S Wykes and Mr P Curtis, recorded four successful claims by Ms L Fairhall against University Hospital of North Tees and Hartlepool Foundation Trust. It held that her complaint of automatically unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures was well-founded and succeeded, and it also upheld her complaint of ordinary unfair dismissal.

The tribunal further held that the claimant’s complaint of being subjected to detriment for making protected disclosures was well-founded and succeeded. It also upheld her breach of contract complaint, which was identified as a failure to pay notice pay. The supplied judgment text records these liability findings only and does not set out any monetary award figures.
