Jane The relationship is that employers need to be able to demonstrate to an ET that they have treated the employee with 'sympathy, compassion and understanding' . If they can do that then the Tribunal will look favourable on their case. As I understand it most cases get to ET and win because employers have not shown 'sympathy, compassion and understanding' . The barristers may well quote Lynock. I'm afraid I don't know the case you quote and it is not one that Joan Lewis put in the book; do you have a date and an EAT no? I have googled it but nothing comes up - unlike Lynock. Joan always quotes Lynock as the 'gold standard' case that sets the standard for fairness and reasonableness in managing ill health in employment.

If its a short term sickness absence matter (which Lynock is) then Thompson v International Sports is still the best reference?

Mind you it would help if I could type better and give you correct info as it should have read LYNOCK... However, for those who do not have the book just Google it and there are a number of references to it you can read. G ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
