EAT Practice and Procedure : Case Management – UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Respondent was entitled to conclude the Claimant wrongfully handed over HR files of two employees whose qualifications she disputed, and to dismiss her.
Given the concession in the internal proceedings that as much investigation as was reasonable had been conducted, the Employment Tribunal properly exercised its discretion to refuse to admit covert tape recordings of meetings the Claimant attended.
