EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
Conduct dismissal – Employment Tribunal substituted its view of disparity of treatment compared with an earlier disciplinary offence and relied on employer’s failure to issue a specific written warning of the risk of dismissal when the offence in question was covered by the examples of gross misconduct in its disciplinary procedures, leading to summary dismissal.
Finding of unfair dismissal (subject to 75 per cent contribution) and consequent compensation order set aside and finding of fair dismissal substituted on appeal.
