Summary
UK dismissal law involves both procedural and substantive elements. While the range of reasonable responses test emphasizes procedural fairness, substantive aspects like fair reasons for dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996 are also crucial. Employers must have a fair reason for dismissal and follow a fair process. Employees can challenge unfair dismissals at an Employment Tribunal. Bakers paper critiques the procedural focus, suggesting it may overshadow substantive fairness. Understanding both aspects is essential for a comprehensive view of UK dismissal law.Full Conversation

Hello! To support the argument that UK dismissal law is "purely procedural" using Baker's paper, you can highlight the following points:
- The "range of reasonable responses" test focuses on procedural fairness rather than substantive fairness.
- The test allows for a wide discretion in employer's decisions, emphasizing process over outcome.
