Chapter I Right not to be unfairly dismissed

Other dismissals

107 Pressure on employer to dismiss unfairly.

(1)

This section applies where there falls to be determined for the purposes of this Part a question—

(a)

as to the reason, or principal reason, for which an employee was dismissed,

(b)

whether the reason or principal reason for which an employee was dismissed was a reason fulfilling the requirement of section 98(1)(b), or

(c)

whether an employer acted reasonably in treating the reason or principal reason for which an employee was dismissed as a sufficient reason for dismissing him.

(2)

In determining the question no account shall be taken of any pressure which by calling, organising, procuring or financing a strike or other industrial action, or threatening to do so, was exercised on the employer to dismiss the employee; and the question shall be determined as if no such pressure had been exercised.
