Background

This case concerned an appeal by the Complainant against her demotion. She claimed her demotion, which resulted from a work incident (where the Complainant – along with two colleagues – participated in an incident that involved her being pushed around the retail floor in a stock trolley), was harsh and disproportionate. The Court found in favour of the Complainant as the Respondents had failed to consider an alternative sanction for the incident and the imposed sanction was inappropriate for the corresponding behaviour. Reinstatement was recommended.
