Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant was dismissed from employment for failing to collect, verify and upload pink delivery notes on the Navision system. An investigation report identified system failures and contributory causes including inadequate supervision, but concluded that a weighbridge operator manipulated the system. The appellant was charged with failure to collect and verify delivery notes, but the disciplinary committee convicted him based on failure to query broken sequences of delivery notes.
