Labour Court finds Howard Collins Electrical dismissal was not unfair

The Labour Court found that a worker’s dismissal by Howard Collins Electrical Limited was not unfair and recommended that he accept two weeks’ wages offered by the company, less the cost of replacing the van’s locks and alarm. The recommendation was signed on 19 March 1991. The worker was employed as a van driver from 21 May to 14 December 1990. He said he had worked conscientiously and was let go after six months; the company said he had not followed instructions and had offered three weeks’ wages, which he refused. It said it spent £200 replacing the locks and alarm after the van keys were not returned.
