Summary:
Claimant refused to carry out instructions to re-print a pamphlet with the original changes made by the director together with some of the claimant's changes. Umpire found that her refusal to comply and to insist that the pamphlet be re-printed in her style was an act of defiance and can only be characterized as misconduct calling for dismissal. Her conduct was wilful and manifested a disregard of a standard of behaviour which an employer has a right to expect of an employee.
