17/12/2011 23:56:29 Wallace Posts: 1	I won my ET case for unfair dismissal. At the hearing the judge said my employer had broken virtually all parts of the ACAS code and that my award would be increased by 25%. When the formal judgement was sent to me it stated my award was reduced to nil as a result of a Polkey reduction of 100%. Is there any point in appealing against this decision? Is there any relevant case law or notes I can access? Wallace

An appeal lies to the Employment Appeal Tribunal on a point of law this probably does not apply here. A polkey reduction is where the tribunal finds that whilst the dismisaal was unfair, the evidencewas that even if a fair procedure had been adopted, the dismissal would have happened anyway.
