Unless I've missed it, no-one has suggested bmi is in contempt of court.
The point made by flappless and Notso is that the maximum amount which a Tribunal can order a company to pay by way of compensation if it refuses to reinstate a successful employee is so small that it doesn't sufficiently compensate the employee for what he has lost, and does nothing to deter a company from refusing to comply with the decision. ie treating the Tribunal's decision with contempt.

The suggestion is that the law should be changed.
