The Labour Court has ordered to pay £ 17,997.40 compensation Dockerty FM Fabrications.
FM Fabrications appealed against that decision to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (“eat”) and explained that the Employment Tribunal was not considering a law in the wrong Polkey reduction. If a decision is considered unfair procedures, the court is asked to employment, whether this failure would ultimately make a difference, be the result. If not, then take it to the period of compensation, to due process must take place before a fair dismissal would have occurred would be limited. This is commonly known as a reduction in Polkey.

? The ET does not check whether a Polkey reduction should be made;
? He has to answer the one question in two steps in the calculation of compensation for unfair dismissal:
Was followed 1) If a job offer led to the correct procedure? and
2) If so, what jobs were and what would the wages were paid?
