Agoreyo v London Borough of Lambeth [2017] EWHC 2019

Suspension not a neutral act in some types of employment and can be breach of contract by employer

The view of the courts is that suspension is not a neutral act. In Mezey v South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust the Court of Appeal held that suspension was not a neutral act, at least in relation to the employment of a qualified professional which is as much a vocation as a job.
