Tesco unfair dismissal

The Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) has found that the Irish arm of supermarket giant Tesco unfairly dismissed a lung cancer victim.

Mary Adeniyi had worked with Tesco since 2004, but fell ill in October 2010 and three months later was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Ms Adeniyi was on sick leave, but told the EAT hearing that she always intended to return to work and was shocked when she was dismissed.
