• A Brighton-based driver who won an industrial tribunal against her former employer has now won a county court judgment in respect of property she left in the cab.
Rachael Webb was awarded £5,000 by the Manchester tribunal last May after being unfairly dismissed from Blackburn-based Stuart Taylor International. She had been sacked after asking for itemised pay statements.
Last week Webb was awarded £100 by Brighton County Court in respect of a CB radio, an aerial and a suzie that she left in one of Stuart Taylor's trucks. "I kept asking him to return my things," says Webb, "but in the end I had to take it to court. I still haven't received the £5,000 I won in May."
Stuart Taylor says that he has no intention of paying Webb and is in the process of appealing against both decisions.
