Dismissal confirmed and penalty imposed on employee
Director Copied Confidential Company Data After Termination Meeting. Termination granted, along with a penalty.
The Case
An employer wished to terminate the employment contract of a managing director. Shortly after that conversation, the director copied a large number of confidential and competitively sensitive files to his own computer. He also recorded conversations with colleagues without permission.
What Was at Stake
The case became legally complex. Employment law and privacy law were intertwined. The employee contested the termination, making legal proceedings inevitable. The employer had to stand its ground.
The Strategy
I carefully built the case on behalf of the employer. The employee’s actions were at the heart of the matter: copying company data and recording conversations. I made it clear that this was seriously culpable conduct and that trust had been irreparably damaged.
The result
The judge terminated the employment contract and ordered the employee to pay a penalty to the employer. The termination was upheld, and a clear message was sent: this kind of behavior is not acceptable.
