EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Claimant, a manager, was dismissed for sending pornographic material to a more junior employee.
The Employment Tribunal erred in substituting its own view of the appropriateness of the sanction of dismissal rather than considering whether dismissal was within the range of reasonable responses of a reasonable employer in the circumstances. Finding of unfair dismissal set aside. Case remitted to a different Employment Tribunal.
