The Labour Court increased compensation for a worker wrongfully dismissed by Unicol Limited from the Rights Commissioner’s recommended £850 to £1,200. The decision was signed on 21 March 1989. The worker appealed, saying the original sum was insufficient. Unicol said errors in her accounts work had not improved, but acknowledged that the dismissal method was unacceptable and that it had given no formal warnings. The Court upheld the wrongful-dismissal finding and increased the compensation.
