Dunelm (Soft Furnishings) Ltd v (1) Baker (2) Wood - ET should not address matters not before it
An Employment Tribunal must not consider issues that have not been raised, without giving both parties an opportunity to address them about it.
Mrs Baker & Mrs Wood worked from home as consultants. On 1st February 2011, Dunelm wrote to them both, warning them that they were at risk of redundancy and should cease taking orders from customers. There then followed a consultation process and on 17 February 2011 their employment was terminated. They were given no notice and received one month's pay in lieu of notice.
