EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reasonableness of dismissal
The Employment Tribunal substituted its judgment for that of the management as to the seriousness of the Claimant’s conduct. The employer was entitled to rely on an earlier similar incident even though it did not result in a disciplinary sanction, because it alerted the Claimant to the conduct complained of. The Claimant was not unfairly dismissed.
