A LEADING financial services company has admitted a second case of unfair dismissal in less than 18 months.

And although Generali International initially tried to deny culpability at an industrial tribunal, it withdrew rather than see details of the complaint against it become public.

The latest casualty from the company, which features prominently when fact-finding visitors come to the island, was a senior manager of 15 years’ standing.

Malcolm Campbell, who was dependent on his employment for his local housing licence and that of his daughters, was dismissed without justification earlier this year.

As a result, he filed an unfair dismissal claim, which was not contested.

Collas Day Advocates associate lawyer Rachel Farnham represented Generali at the hearing, although no details were put forward by either party. All information was provided to the tribunal in written form.  Miss Farnham said that although Generali was not contesting the hearing, there was no admission.
