Dunnachie v Kingston-upon-Hull City Council

Dunnachie v Kingston-upon-Hull City Council [2004] UKHL 36 is a UK labour law case, concerning unfair dismissal.

Mr Dunnachie had been employed by Kingston-upon-Hull City Council since 1986 when he was 19.

He resigned in March 2001 after a prolonged campaign of harassment by a colleague and line manager.

This included a sum of £10,000 for the distress suffered for the manner of his dismissal.

Lord Steyn held that one must focus solely on "economic losses".
