The Employment Tribunal Appeal has found that the tribunal had been wrong to find that a claimant’s resignation in the heat of the moment during an altercation with his manager was really intended.
The claimant brought a claim for unfair and wrongful dismissal and argued that his case fell within a “special circumstances exception” (in the heat of the moment).
A resignation must be “seriously meant” or “really intended” or “conscious and rational”.
If you have a resignation, which is later retracted and you want to know where you stand, give me a call.
