EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
Unfair dismissal claim. Employer’s case that dismissal was for gross misconduct (failure to comply with reasonable instruction).
Employment Tribunal rejected Claimant’s claim. Appeal brought on basis that the Tribunal’s reasons do not identify precisely what the instruction was. Without that, it could not properly determine whether it was ‘reasonable’.
Appeal dismissed
The Tribunal had found as a fact what the instruction was and had made no error in reviewing employer’s decision that it was a reasonable instruction, non-compliance with which warranted dismissal.
