The Court of Appeal has delivered its Judgment on the Adesokan v Sainsbury case. Here’s the link to the judgement:
Mr Adesokan was summarily dismissed for gross misconduct by Sainsbury’s after having been employed by the company for 26 years. He sued for wrongful dismissal. The court had to decide whether he had committed gross misconduct so as to justify summary dismissal. The High Court, held that he had and that the summary dismissal was therefore lawful. The case was then taken to the Court of Appeal, where the case was dismissed.
