Tribunal Finds Pregnant Nurse Was Dismissed as Case Against GP Brother Proceeds

A preliminary ruling confirms her employee status, establishing tribunal jurisdiction.

Overview

  • Employment Judge Mark Whitcombe said Dr Mohammed Moughal used objectively ambiguous language such as telling his sister to “stop logging in” to soften the blow.
  • The tribunal set the dismissal date as July 31, 2024, noting she only realised after receiving a P45 the following month because there was no written termination.
  • Greenlaw partners had agreed she should be off the payroll from May 1, 2024, with the task of communicating the decision left to her brother.
  • Greenlaw Medical Practice has since dissolved following partner disputes, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde was identified as potentially liable for any successful claims.
  • A full hearing will examine her unfair dismissal claims, which arise after a complicated pregnancy during which her in‑person clinics were reduced.
