The case of Woodland v MPI Ltd [2007,] concerned an employee who was the manager of a branch of recruitment consultants. In 1993, the employee’s responsibility for dealing with cash and signing cheques was removed from him when he was disciplined for theft from his employer. Following this incident in 1997, allegations of sexual harassment were made by a job applicant who had been interviewed by the employee. Then in 2001, despite the previous problems, the employee was made a director of the employer, having decided that the manager of each branch should become a director.
