In London United Busways Ltd v De Marchi and anor, the EAT has held that an employment tribunal was right to find that an employee who objected to being transferred to another company under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE), who refused to sign new terms and conditions with his existing employer, and who did not want to resign, was dismissed by the transferor, albeit the EAT reached the same conclusion for different reasons.

The Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 SI 2024/1155 have been made and will come into force on 6 January 2025, replacing the rules of procedure set out in Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 SI 2013/1237.

In Advocate General for Scotland v Brown and anor, the EAT has set aside an employment tribunal’s decision that a female firearms officer’s failure to complete a fitness test to the required national standard, which resulted in her dismissal, amounted to indirect sex discrimination under S.19 of the Equality Act 2010.
