High Court action in Ireland
The claimant was employed by the insured company as an Operations Director. He sought an injunction to prevent dismissal and brought a claim in the High Court. The elements of the claim were arbitrary and unreasonable treatment, bullying, harassment and victimisation. He believed he had been wrongly blamed for losses, falling profits and discrepancies. Allegations were also made against him in relation to the fiddling of expenses. The claimant had received advice that an investigation was ongoing into the alleged abuse of expenses and that there was going to be a reorganisation of the business. Following these reviews, the claimant was dismissed by letter. Reinstatement, damages and costs were sought by the claimant. Legal and settlement costs covered under the policy amounts to more than €100,000.
