A Welsh worker won an unfair dismissal case after being fired for a joke in an Irish accent, with a tribunal calling the dismissal disproportionate.
A Welsh engineering storeman, Karl Davies, won an unfair dismissal claim after being fired for joking in a mock Irish accent at work.
The August 2024 incident, involving the phrase “top of the morning to ya,” led to a disciplinary process deemed flawed due to a conflict of interest, inconsistent evidence, and lack of racial intent.
An employment tribunal ruled the termination was disproportionate, citing Davies’s clean 27-year record and no proven harm, awarding over £16,000 in compensation.
