The Labour Court found that Sunspel Limited (Trading As Eddie Rocket's) unfairly dismissed a worker and recommended £250 compensation. The recommendation was dated 26 April 1995. The worker had been dismissed after the company alleged she took a cup of coffee without paying. The Court said she had no opportunity to answer the charge, was denied fair procedures and had been treated excessively. The worker said staff commonly had coffee before shifts and that she paid when asked.
