Martin & Co have recently won a case for unfair dismissal against a Manchester NHS Trust who dismissed a nurse after she was secretly filmed making critical comments about managers on a Dispatches tv programme on channel 4.
We successfully argued that her comments had been true, and that she was not deliberately making her views public.
The Manchester employment tribunal were very critical of the Trust in every respect of their decision and awarded our client a year’s pay in compensation and took the very unusual step of reinstating her to her position.
Our client was delighted with the decision and praised Martin & Co’s Ross Fletcher for his handling of the case saying that he had been “amazing”.
The decision allows our client to get on with her career, which had been sadly interrupted for over a year.
