The first tribunal hearing for Eva Carneiro’s constructive dismissal claim is taking place today. The former Chelsea Football Club team doctor was relieved of first-team duties, following criticism by then-manager Jose Mourinho for going onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard on the opening day of the season. Carneiro ended up leaving the club in September last year. Today’s proceedings will put in place a timetable for the case with the hearing expected in June.
