Robertson v. Hymers College [2001] UKEAT 1517_00_0806 (8 June 2001)

The Employment Tribunal's findings and reasoning regarding job titles and omission from minutes were within its discretion and did not disclose an arguable error of law, but the Tribunal arguably failed to address the complaint regarding the manner of termination and failure to consider the Appellant for further employment, which is an arguable ground for appeal.
