EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL
Reasonableness of dismissal
Compensation
The Employment Tribunal did not err in applying the test in Burchell, albeit it misstated it, and holding the employer did not carry out sufficient investigation into an allegation of misconduct. It recognised that a high standard was required given the allegation: A v B applied. The assessment of compensation by the Employment Tribunal, invoking its knowledge of the economic climate, was correct.
