Wolverhampton University v Elbeltagi - time limits and reasonable practicality - EAT 13.7.07

Wolverhampton University summarily dismissed Dr Elbeltagi for gross misconduct on 11 July 2006. Dr Elbeltagi appealed. At the same time, negotiations took place and it looked as if Dr Elbeltagi might instead be allowed to resign, effectively negating the dismissal.
