Case Summary

The dispute in this case turns on information the claimant entered onto the respondent's electronic system, altering information previously entered by Customer Assistants. The respondent contends that it reasonably considered the actions to be gross misconduct justifying summary dismissal. The claimant contends that he was either acting on his Store Manager's instructions or at very least reasonably understood that he was doing so and that his dismissal was in the circumstances unfair.

The tribunal found that the respondent acted reasonably in dismissing the claimant for gross misconduct following his alteration of electronic system information, rejecting the claimant's arguments that he was acting on managerial instructions or had a reasonable belief to that effect.
