Re-engagement at a different location

The Claimant was found to have been unfairly dismissed but in correspondence connected with the proceedings he had made allegations against both the Respondent as an institution and members of its HR department, including that they had fabricated and suppressed evidence. The Tribunal ordered re-engagement of the Claimant to a different location to the one in which he had originally worked, as the Respondent had schools in various locations. The EAT upheld this decision of the Tribunal on the basis that the fact that the Claimant had made serious allegations against staff at one of the locations of the Respondent did not preclude him from having a perfectly professional relationship with staff at another location.
