Having a NatteRR - Series 8 Episode 9

This week Simon and David discuss the case of D Martin v Jet Maintenance Limited.

They discuss the Claimant’s summary dismissal ‘in the heat of the moment’ during an altercation with a co-owner of the business.

The facts of that altercation were disputed. The Claimant acknowledged swearing but denied acting in an aggressive manner.

An internal Hearing was then carried out to hear the allegations into the Claimant’s conduct during the altercation, which was adjourned following the Claimant raising a grievance.

An HR Consultant was engaged to hear the case against the Claimant and made recommendations.

David and Simon comment on the Disciplinary Officer’s approach to those recommendations, which resulted in a finding of unfair dismissal.

Listeners will also find out how many countries begin with an ‘O’ and how long it takes Simon to answer a trivia question!
