Dismissal for proselytising was not unfair or discriminatory

Chondol v Liverpool City Council – EAT 2009


The EAT decided that a care worker was rightfully dismissed for proselytising amongst his clients, that his dismissal was not unlawful religion or belief discrimination.

It was not discriminatory or unlawful but was rather a fair dismissal because of the claimant's inappropriate proselytisation and not the claimant's religion or belief. The EAT stressed however that tribunals should make sure in such cases that unacceptable exploitation of vulnerable people was the employer's real reason for dismissing the worker.
