The tribunal considered the circumstances in which it may be relevant to hear evidence on the circumstances surrounding the giving of a warning or warnings prior to dismissal. Lord McDonald MC said: ‘Certainly if there is anything to suggest that the warning had been issued for an oblique motive or if it was manifestly inappropriate, that is a matter which a Tribunal could take into account. There is nothing however in the present case to suggest that the evidence disclosed anything of this nature.’
