# Employment Rights Act 1996, Section 107: Pressure on employer to dismiss unfairly.


(1) This section applies where there falls to be determined for the purposes of this Part a question—
(a) as to the reason, or principal reason, for which an employee was dismissed,
(b) whether the reason or principal reason for which an employee was dismissed was a reason fulfilling the requirement of section 98(1)(b), or
(c) whether an employer acted reasonably in treating the reason or principal reason for which an employee was dismissed as a sufficient reason for dismissing him.
(2) In determining the question no account shall be taken of any pressure which by calling, organising, procuring or financing a strike or other industrial action, or threatening to do so, was exercised on the employer to dismiss the employee; and the question shall be determined as if no such pressure had been exercised.
