Parties Walker v Cameron t/a White Swan Tavern
Summary UNJUSTIFIED DISMISSAL - Whether dismissed or resigned - Respondent became concerned about applicant allegedly falsifying timesheets - Asked applicant to meeting - Different versions about what happened at meeting - Credibility central to case - Inconsistencies in both sides' evidence - Far more serious inconsistencies in applicant's evidence - Accepted respondent's evidence that he had not completed the discussions he wanted to have and applicant had thrown her keys down and left - No personal grievance - Even if had found unjustified dismissal, applicant's level of contribution in making false time sheet claims would have been such to disqualify her from award of remedies
Result Application dismissed ; Costs reserved
