A BANK manager has secured a High Court injunction preventing his dismissal over misconduct allegations. The injunction continues pending the full hearing of the dispute between Christopher Giblin and Irish Life & Permanent.
The proceedings were brought after the purported dismissal of Mr Giblin, manager at Irish Life and Permanent (ILP), College Green, Dublin, arising from allegations relating to transactions on accounts in his own name and in the names of his wife and his mother-in-law.
Mr Giblin, who has been employed by the bank for the last 30 years, said he was shocked and distressed when informed by his employers last December he was being summarily dismissed. He has denied any wrong doing.
A father of four of Belmont Gardens, Donnybrook, Dublin, Mr Giblin argues his dismissal should be declared null and void on grounds it breached fair procedures and natural justice. The bank denies the claims.
