Morley v UNISON, remitted by the EAT: 7 March 2025

The applicant made a complaint under section 108A(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the union had breached several rules in relation to the union’s decision to remove him from membership. The complaint, originally received on 13 March 2022, was not accepted by the Certification Officer for determination. Following the applicant’s appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the complaint was remitted to be heard by the Certification Officer.

The cases are heard remotely using zoom video conferencing facilities. If you wish to join the hearing via zoom, please contact the Certification Office by email at info@certoffice.org or by calling 0330 109 3602.
