The orders
Part X Unfair dismissal
An order under this section may be—
(a)an order for reinstatement (in accordance with section 114), or
(b)an order for re-engagement (in accordance with section 115),
as the tribunal may decide.
Forms part of the statutory reinstatement regime. A reinstatement order restores the employee on the terms specified by the tribunal; it is not an offer of new employment. (see paras [50]; [125]; [177]) Lord Hope referred to this provision as the source of the tribunal's reinstatement order. The order required restoration on specified terms rather than an offer of employment. (see para [125])
Interprets a section 113 order as operating subject to section 117’s statutory consequences, rather than as a specifically enforceable order for actual employment. (see paras [10], [20]-[25])
Section 113 identifies reinstatement and re-engagement as orders which the Tribunal may make. The EAT held that the discretion under this provision remains general, subject to the statutory factors. (see para [33])
