Liability Risk and Insurance
No recovery for non-economic loss
In claims of unfair dismissal in employment tribunals, there is no recovery for non-economic loss. Employment Appeal Tribunal
considered three unrelated unfair dismissal cases, in the light of the House of Lords decision in
Johnson v Unisys Ltd
. The appeal tribunal allowed two appeals by employers against awards for injuries to feelings, and dismissed one appeal by
an employee against a tribunal decision not to award compensation for injury to feelings.
