Cases considering section 113 24

Relaxion Group plc (Respondents) v. Rhys-Harper (FC) (Appellant) D'Souza (Appellant) v. London Borough of Lambeth (Respondents) Jones (Appellant) v. 3M Healthcare Limited (Respondents) and three other actions

[2003] UKHL 33 · 19 June 2003

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])

MacKenzie v The University of Cambridge (Rev 1)

[2019] EWCA Civ 1060 · 20 June 2019Interprets

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])

Wolff v Oasis Community Learning

[2013] UKEAT 0365_12_1705 · 17 May 2013Interprets

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])
