Whether the employer had a valid immediate termination ground based on the employee's email of 16 May 2011.
The email did not amount to a sufficiently serious breach to justify immediate dismissal.
The message was untactful but not a grave loss of trust; the relationship had already been terminated and a stricter standard applied. The article was public, concerned only the father of a corporate officer indirectly, and no extreme case of reputational harm was shown.
