The Court of Appeal has today handed down it’s judgment in Gwynedd Council v Barratt & Anor [2021] EWCA Civ 1322. It upheld the judgment of the Employment Tribunal that two teachers had been unfairly dismissed when Gwynedd Council reorganised its schools, and that no reduction to their compensation should be made in circumstances in which the local authority had not adduced any evidence to show that it had considered redeploying them to other schools in the area. Claire Darwin successfully represented the two teachers in the Court of Appeal, instructed by NASUWT.
