The Labour Court rejected Captain Chuckles’ appeal and confirmed a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that the company pay a manageress £3,000 for unfair dismissal. The decision was signed on 18 April 1994. The manageress said she was told the play centre would close, but a new manageress was later appointed, and that management rejected her ideas for promoting the business. Captain Chuckles said her employment was month to month and ended because trade had declined. The Court rejected the company’s appeal after considering the parties’ submissions.
