INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL Some information: An industrial tribunal is a court of justice, whose job is to deal with cases related to work. They have a legally qualified chairperson and two lay members who have knowledge or experience of employment in industry or commerce. 1. Read all the four situations without discussing them. The four people believe that they have been unfairly dismissed by their employer. Imagine that you are members of a jury (body of persons who swear to give a decision on issues of facts in a case in a court of justice) whose job is to decide: a. what the real motivations for the dismissals were b. whether they really have been unfairly dismisses c. if so what kind of compensation should be given to them.
