Sep 16, 2019 at 15:01 comment added Mark Wildon Just to add to this: The proof of Weyl's Theorem in Appendix B of my book with Karin Erdmann is, I believe, correct. (In fact we used Jim Humphreys' book quite closely here.) The error mentioned above is a mistake in the proof of the existence of the abstract Jordan decomposition (Theorem 9.16). We tried to avoid using Weyl's Theorem, but Jim pointed out that our proof is flawed. This is a shame, because having the abstract Jordan decomposition to hand would be very useful for showing complete reducibility (this was the idea in Exercise 9.15)
