Significant cases
Corrin v Department of Infrastructure (Isle of Man Employment and Equality Tribunal, 2 November 2020): Represented Complainant, a Unite Member, at hearing for unfair dismissal. The Complainant had been summarily dismissed as a result of an incident involving the bus he was driving as the hold-brake failed and the bus rolled away. The Tribunal held that on the evidence available to the Respondent immediately after the incident, the finding of gross misconduct was within the band of reasonable responses but that the decision to summarily dismiss the Complainant was outside the band of reasonable responses as it could not be said that the Complainant had been adequately trained in respect of the hold-brake and also that it was inconsistent with sanction of another employee. The Tribunal also held that the unfair dismissal could also be reached as there was a flawed investigation process such that with adequate investigation, the outcome of the summary dismissal would or should have been different.

Corrin v Department of Infrastructure (Isle of Man Employment and Equality Tribunal, 28 October 2021): Represented Complainant, a Unite Member, in respect of quantum arising out of a decision in his favour of unfair dismissal where the Respondent was claiming that a contributory reduction should be applied to any award. The decision of the Tribunal was reached upon written submissions and it found that the conduct of the Complainant was not culpable or blameworthy and “the Complainant did not culpably contribute to what happened to cause the bus to run away” such that it would not be just and equitable to reduce either the Basic Award or the Compensatory Award. The Complainant was awarded the full amount for compensation capped at £56,000 plus a Basic Award of £4,816. Click here for judgment.
Halsall v Cedar Developments Limited (Isle of Man Employment and Equality Tribunal, 1 February 2019): Represented Complainant in successful unfair dismissal claim. Click here for judgment.
