The Labour Court recommended that a catering assistant accept its position on her claim following her dismissal by Gardner Merchant. The recommendation was dated 4 December 1998. The worker said a colleague accused her of stealing two Easter eggs and became abusive when she sought an explanation. The Court said there was no question mark against her honesty and that management had not questioned her integrity. It described the incident as an intended jocose remark that led to difficulties in the changing room; the company dismissed her during probation.
