Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent, a security officer employed by Norton Town Council, swapped a broken push cart he bought at auction for a working one without authority. He was charged with theft under the Code of Conduct, found guilty and demoted. After internal appeals, he referred the matter to a Labour Officer claiming unfair labour practice. The arbitrator set aside the disciplinary decision and ordered reinstatement.
