New regulations recently came into force to define the wording which must be included in an apprenticeship agreement. Is it complex?

In a recent case, a male employee had been sacked for gross misconduct after he posted vulgar comments on Facebook about a female colleague. He argued that this was a “breach of his human rights”. What did the tribunal say?

Even when the tribunal makes a finding of unfair dismissal, it can still reduce the compensatory award where the employee’s conduct “justifies” it. But suppose they were dishonest during the disciplinary hearing - does that count too?
