Unfair dismissal law – An LRD guide for union reps (December 2023)

Chapter 5

Loss of driving licence

[page 62]

If a driver faces dismissal due to the loss of his licence, the employer should look for other suitable jobs. As always, whether a dismissal is fair depends on context. For example, in Wincanton Group PLC v Stone and Gregory [2012] UKEAT 0011/12, Mr Gregory’s dismissal was unfair because Wincanton misled him into thinking they were looking for other suitable jobs when this was not true.
