Short answer
Disciplinary appeal enquiries should identify the allegation, investigation papers, hearing notes, outcome letter, appeal grounds, policy, companion issues and any dismissal or tribunal timing. Legal4U cannot decide whether a disciplinary outcome was fair or whether a claim can be brought.
