NatWest was accused of being “in a state of denial” during the closing arguments of an employment tribunal over unfair dismissal of a former staffer's disability that arose from cancer.
The case, which entered its final stage on 17 January, centres on Brentwood-based Adeline Willis, 44, who said she was physically and emotionally in turmoil as NatWest abolished her £160,000-a-year position without any offer of alternative employment in the first quarter of 2020. She had been diagnosed with bowel cancer the previous August.
