In your analysis, consider key elements such as eligibility criteria for statutory protection. Further, critically assess the standards employed by employment tribunals and courts to determine the reasonableness of dismissal, with particular emphasis on the “range of reasonable responses” test. Lastly, examine the adequacy of remedies available to workers who have been unfairly dismissed.
You should use primary legislation statutory , (2-3 cases per paragraph) case law, legal commentary and social science material in your answer and to support your analysis. And use the following quote, “The common law has no interest in the fairness of a dismissal but only whether the parties have abided by the terms of their agreement…. It might seem axiomatic that the provisions in the Employment Rights Act 1996 on unfair dismissal are concerned with fairness, or at any rate, unfairness. To an extent this is obviously true. But it is also true that it ignores, or at least does not pursue, some unfairness in dismissals.” (Simon Honeyball, Great Debates in Employment Law, 2015).
