Gisda Cyf v Barratt
Where an employee is summarily dismissed by letter, the effective date of termination is the date on which the employee actually reads the letter - not the date it is sent.
Jackson v Liverpool City Council
A former employer had not been in breach of its duty of care when it provided a reference which referred to allegations against the former employee but made it clear that they had not been investigated. The employer was not negligent as the reference was true, accurate and fair.
NHS Leeds v Larner
A worker who had been on sick leave for an entire leave year and had not taken any holiday during that period, was entitled to a payment in respect of that year's unused statutory holiday entitlement on the termination of her employment.
