No compensation for beauty therapist unfairly dismissed for moonlighting as hairdresser

Evans v Lewis t/a The Beauty Spot ET/1403313/10

unfair dismissal | moonlighting | information discovered after dismissal

The employer in this case unfairly dismissed an employee whom it strongly suspected of moonlighting, but where it did not have definitive proof. Although the dismissal was procedurally unfair, the claimant's compensation was reduced to zero because the employer's suspicions were later verified.
