JUDGE J HULL QC: We have all considered the papers in this case. This is a preliminary hearing under our Practice Direction to see whether we can discover any point of law in the case because, of course, we can only entertain points of law on appeal. We have all considered the facts and the decision of the Industrial Tribunal. We do not need to go into the details, but the Tribunal held unanimously that the employers had a reasonable belief which justified their dismissal of the Applicant and the majority of the Tribunal held in addition that the employer had carried out a reasonable and proper investigation and had acted fairly in arriving at its belief. We can find nothing in the decision to show any error of law, in particular there is nothing to show that the decision was in the legal sense unreasonable or perverse. The Tribunal appears to us to have applied the correct tests and heard all the evidence.

In those circumstances, we can discover no point of law and this appeal cannot proceed and we dismiss the appeal.
