EAT Unfair dismissal – Reasonableness of dismissal – Contributory fault
Nurse doing second job which involved her working excessive hours – Tribunal found that dismissal was not a reasonable sanction having regard to a number of specific mitigating factors but reduced her awards by 30% –
Held: (1) that the Tribunal had not applied the wrong approach or substituted its own decision for that of the employer and that its decision was not perverse; and (2) that the reduction of 30% was on the low side but not to the extent that it could be said to be wrong in law.
