Unfair dismissal – Determination whether dismissal fair or unfair. The Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that the employment tribunal had based its finding of unfair dismissal on a plain misunderstanding of the employer's grievance policy.

Accordingly, the appeal was allowed and a finding of a fair dismissal was substituted.
