EAT Unfair Dismissal – Reason for dismissal including substantial other reason
The claimant, who was employed as a refuse collection driver, was dismissed for misconduct consisting of taking an unauthorised break and failing to complete the day’s tasks. The Tribunal found his dismissal to have been unfair for various reasons. On appeal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal were satisfied that the Tribunal had erred in law in concluding as they had done and that their decision should, accordingly, be quashed. The Employment Appeal Tribunal substituted a finding that the dismissal had been fair.
