Turner Coulston (A Firm) v Janko: EAT 3 Sep 2001

The appellant employers suggested that the finding of unfair dismissal was perverse in having rejected uncontested evidence.
Held: The standard for such a claim was high – that the decision was ‘plainly wrong’ or similar. That standard was not reached in this case. The extended reasons did not fail to reflect proper findings on the facts before the tribunal. The employee appealed a notice that the recoupment regulations applied. It was not for the EAT to interfere between the benefits agency and the parties.

A display of nude images at a workplace may be discriminatory as sexual harassment, but some common sense was needed. The display of soft-porn photographs in a workplace need not of itself be subjecting a female worker to a detriment.
