Claimant won
Unfair Dismissal and Discrimination
Heard at Nottingham
The Tribunal found the dismissal was unfair because the employer failed to follow its own disciplinary policy and constitution, the investigation was inadequate, and the decision to dismiss was outside the range of reasonable responses given the claimant's open use of vehicles with management approval and the lack of any clear policy prohibition.
Legal Issues (5)
- Whether the dismissal was fair under section 98(4) ERA 1996
- focusing on the reasonableness of the employer's belief
- the adequacy of the investigation
- whether dismissal fell within the range of reasonable responses
- whether the employer followed a fair procedure including compliance with its own disciplinary policy and the 'Just and Learning Framework'
