Hello!
Welcome to this months update.
We're happy to be back after a quick summer break, and we've got tribunal cases bursting at the seams this month.
We're covering an issue surrounding Positive Discrimination in the RAF, in a case that reminds us that even with the best intentions it's still possible for employers to fall foul.
For those that attended our recent webinar on religious and philosophical beliefs, the case of Fahmy v Arts Council England is another good reminder of the delicate balance that needs to be struck in a controversial debate.
And whilst the new legislation surrounding sexual harassment is making progress, we've got the latest information employers need to know to proactively prevent harassment in the workplace.
Enjoy this month's update and as always, let us know if you have any questions.
See you in October!
Stephen

Dual Employment
Can a person be an employee or worker of two different employers at the same time in respect of the same work?
Ofsted inspector who touched a pupil was unfairly dismissed
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has held, in the recent case of Hewston v Ofsted, that an experienced Ofsted inspector who was summarily dismissed after touching a pupil’s forehead and shoulder to remove rainwater, was unfairly dismissed.
Gender Critical Belief Discrimination
The latest on the remedy hearing for the landmark Forstater v CGD Europe Limited case.
Arts Council England found guilty of harassment of employee related to protected ‘gender critical’ belief
This case is a reminder of the delicate balance which employers must reach when dealing with both sides in a controversial debate.
RAF guilty of positive discrimination in drive to increase number of female and ethnic minority recruits
A case that reminds us that even with the best intentions it's still possible for employers to fall foul.
Employment status: does the agreement reflect the reality of a relationship?
In Plastic Omnium Automotive Ltd v Horton the Employment Appeal Tribunal found that an ET had been wrong to conclude that the claimant was a worker of the end-user where it separately concluded that the written agreement between the claimant’s service companies and the end-user was an accurate reflection of the reality of the relationship.
Unfair Dismissal
Ahmed v Nat West is a startling example of the importance of following due process even where very serious allegations are involved.
