Summary:
Dismissed because his performance was unsatisfactory and because the businees that he operated on his own account was in conflict with that of his employer. Umpire found that the mere fact that the claimant was courting the same clients in order to offer his services in a field which, while not identical to that in which the employer’s business operated, was associated with that field, was grounds for conflict. An employee may not, on the face of it, exploit his employer’s client list for his own personal advantage.
