West Herts Hospitals NHS Trust v Evans - breach of 2004 statutory dismissal procedures and compensation.

Under the now-repealed statutory disciplinary and dismissal procedures established by Employment Act 2002 Sch 2 Part 1 Chapter 1, a failure by an employer to state, in the "Step 1" letter, that the disciplinary hearing may result in the employee's dismissal will render dismissal automatically unfair, thereby entitling the employee to an uplift in the compensatory award.
