Following a hearing in September, Employment Judge Caroline Illing ruled in favor of the employer, saying the employee failed to “make a full and frank disclosure” (Croft, 2023). Regarding an expense report may have been submitted in error, the judge said “I am satisfied that a dismissal in relation to the misrepresentation allegation alone would fall within the band of a reasonable response by a reasonable employer” (Croft, 2023).
