Do you agree that she should never been sacked from her job in the first place?
Seems to me she is in line for enough compensation to retire on, although it appears that is for another court to decide.
But since it appears it was all Ed Balls fault, perhaps it is he who should be help to foot the bill, if any compensation is granted?

Ummmmm. Even if a dismissal occurs for gross disconduct, the employer MUST enable an appeal process to be followed or it runs the risk of an unfair dismissal claim from the employee.
Any compensation award for unfair dismissal is based upon the employees ability to earn money - it is not migitated for any perceived incompetence that caused the dismissal in the first place. Since Ms Shoesmith earned a hideous sum of money, any compensation awarded is likely to be equally hideous.

It's irrelevant, Ummm. This is nothing to do with the DECISION that was made (it may well have been regarded by the judges as perfectly sound). This is everything to do with the investigative process by which the decision was reached, the way in which information was given to Ms Shoesmith about that decision, the way she was afforded the right of appeal of that decision and the way the appeal was actually handed.
Many more unfair dismissal cases are found to have failed because of a wrong process being followed than the wrong decision to dismissal in the first place.
And another thing. It was the dozy Labour-Government that removed the 'cap' of £50k on successful claims at Employment Tribunals.
