Labour Court recommends £500 for worker dismissed by Top Security Limited

The Labour Court recommended that Top Security Limited pay a worker £500 after finding his dismissal totally unreasonable. The recommendation was signed on 21 December 1995. The company did not attend the hearing, leaving only the worker’s evidence before the Court. He said his dismissal may have followed an incident at a client site, where he had reported a problem and asked for help. The Court criticised the dismissal being conveyed in the back of a van, the lack of an explanation or opportunity to respond, and management passing responsibility between staff.
