drummonds Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You don't think it odd that they don't have a rule saying "Don't break the law"? apparently it is against the law to park on a double yellow line. is it a sacking offence where you work?

You'll have to await the results from the swab tests before you can say whether he has broken any laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummonds Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) It's not a criminal offence. At least where I live. and where i live they don't sack folk from their job until they are convicted of a crime. as far as i know being accused of something by a newspaper is not a criminal offence.

You can be sacked for going against company rules or possibly bringing the company into disrepute (carried out on company time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be sacked for going against company rules or possibly bringing the company into disrepute (carried out on company time) but wouldn't that also require some sort of enquiry or trial. this is the uk where you need to be found guilty before you are guilty, not simply accused by a newspaper.

I'm not sure the media has accused him of anything other than to report the incident in their columns. If they have falsely reported then he can take it up with the relevant paper. Considering the report was captured on video I guess he wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
