The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has upheld an employment tribunal's decision not to'uplift'the compensation awarded to an employee where the employer had not followed the Acas code in an ill-health dismissal. In Holmes v QinetiQ, Mr Holmes had been a security guard for QinetiQ from 1 July 1996 until his dismissal on 17 April 2014. He had taken extensive sickness absence owing to musculoskeletal pain in his back, legs and hips. He was dismissed on grounds of ill health on the basis that he could no longer do his job.
