Constructive dismissal will fail if he hasn't filed a grievance, unfair dismissal will fail if he wasn't sacked. So it seems the law suit is a PR stunt. He must know the very basics of employment law if he was a senior manager.

there seems to be no legal requirement to file before leaving, so I guess you mean claims don't win where a grievance wasn't lodged before leaving.
does it matter if the case fails?; surely the political damage will be the win.
Although Johnson seems to get away with anything with inpunity, so maybe itll make no difference. However Patel might be in an awkward place if it goes to court.
Reportedly he discussed this with his union. You are inferring that he ignored their advice?
What do you think the last paragraph means?
"Constructive dismissal
Constructive dismissal is when you’re forced to leave your job against your will because of your employer’s conduct.
The reasons you leave your job must be serious, for example, they:
don’t pay you or suddenly demote you for no reason
force you to accept unreasonable changes to how you work - eg tell you to work night shifts when your contract is only for day work
let other employees harass or bully you
Your employer’s breach of contract may be one serious incident or a series of incidents that are serious when taken together.
You should try and sort any issues out by speaking to your employer to solve the dispute.
If you do have a case for constructive dismissal, you should leave your job immediately - your employer may argue that, by staying, you accepted the conduct or treatment."
