Unfair dismissal appeal not upheld

A former teacher who was sacked for gross misconduct has lost her appeal against unfair dismissal.

Alison Morris was sacked from her job at a school in Bolton on the grounds of misconduct following allegations that she had asked a junior member of staff to falsify school records and that she had mismanaged school finances in order to gain financially. She was deputy head of the school and had been acting headteacher for a time.

Following her dismissal she took the school and Bolton Council to an industrial tribunal claiming unfair dismissal. She claimed that she was ignorant of the process to obtain authorisation and said she was merely correcting errors. She added that she had always obtained approval for increases in her salary. However the tribunal upheld the disciplinary panel’s decision and said that her claim was without foundation.

Great service and would highly recommend. Samantha and Michelle were great with dealing with my first house purchase and completed in a timely manner.I feel the service provided was 10/10

I highly recommend Winston Solicitors especially Heidi Stewart when it comes to getting a compensation claim. I was nervous at first but Heidi was very reassuring supportive as well as professional. She kept me up to date and explained everything,so I knew what was going on from start to finish. Best compensation no win no fee solicitors,as their commission is exceptionally reasonable as well. I trust them 100% to get the job done right and they always put the clients best interests first!

Even though I thought that my will was fairly straightforward, I learnt a few things through the process. The solicitor gave me some thoughtful alternatives which I appreciated. All in all a very satisfactory process and outcome.
