Interested to know what is happening here as i smell a rat. This doesn't make sense at all. No contract is not a big deal. She has worked there for 18 months, there is an implied contract. No contract would go in her favour at tribunal as shows lack of management by the employer.

What i really don't like is that this is a company that does not keep records of animal care. To be quarantined for any amount of time and not have a record kept is extremely poor animal husbandry at best. No records means no way of tracing any animals past health concerns which is extremely poor practice.

I would advise your girlfriend move on and find somewhere else to work that is a more responsible employer and practices proper animal husbandry.

I understand that you have taken out the company name and staff names, but the letter looks like something pulled off a Google search for sample suspension letter.

Save yourself the stress...walk away. Yes, it is an injustice, but life is better lived than battled through. This will be nothing in a few years time, so don't waste time and energy on it.
