The position of appointments and dismissals to the cabinet (by no particularly due or transparant process) is I suspect very different in law (although it would be fun to see this tested!)from the dismissal of a local authority officer by a Government minister. The courts presumably are here upholding the rule of employment law or laws passed by Parliament. What might or might not be the hononourable course of action in such circumstances is a different matter. And I do agree, an important matter.<br /><br />Crispin MoorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172766774137902766.post-18699461247341429822011-05-28T05:54:29.434+01:002011-05-28T05:54:29.434+01:00It seems she's in line for a large payout (alt...It seems she's in line for a large payout (although Gove has indicated he'll appeal it, though on what grounds, god only knows).
