Case Summary

The tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed. However, it determined that had a fair procedure been followed, the likelihood of dismissal was 100%, and applied a 100% reduction for contributory fault. No basic or compensatory award was payable as a result.

Why this outcome?

Dismissal found fair

The tribunal found the dismissal unfair due to procedural failings. However, it determined that the claimant would have been dismissed with certainty had a fair procedure been followed, and found the claimant bore contributory fault, resulting in a complete 100% reduction of any compensatory or basic award.
