Yes, the coalition government changed the rules to make it easier for employers. A breach of procedure would have resulted in reinstatement or compensation under the old rules. Now it only means they can win the case but get nothing, no compensation, no reinstatement. What the groundsmen have to show is that if the procedure had been fair they wouldn't have been sacked.

There is an argument to be had, but that's not a good one.

If the boss could do whatever he wants, why is he having to attend a tribunal after admitting unlawful dismissal?

I've read some bollocks in my time, and that second paragraph is right up there with the best of 'em, and don't come back with any whoosh comment, it's at best a dickhead comment to make.
