The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has considered the fairness of a dismissal for uploading obscene material onto a work cloud storage account, when the employee argued that password sharing was "widespread" in his workplace.
In MBNA Ltd v Jones EAT/0120/15, the EAT held that the employee was fairly dismissed despite the fact that a colleague involved in the same incident received a final written warning.
Hyde Housing Association Ltd and others v Layton [2016] IRLR 107 EAT, the EAT held that there was no TUPE transfer when an employee became employed by a group of entities that included his original employer, because the legal relationship between the employee and the original employer had not changed.
