Enquiry Letter Car Would You Class This As Gross Misconduct? (UK Only Please!)?

Would you class this as Gross Misconduct? (UK only please!)? - enquiry letter car

I am only interested in the opinions of people in this scenario. My husband was from his work because he had an accident (her boss suspended in the first attempt to dismiss him, but later withdrawn).

Details of the accident are:

Man drove a company vehicle (large truck). It was parked on the side of the road after the completion of your delivery. After completing his paperwork, he followed the correct procedure for the road - have found their mirrors (these vehicles are not a mirror) can not see anything behind it, and reverse gradually given more space to retreat. But even if it was parked, someone in a small car was withdrawn, and parked behind him, close enough that my husband could not see the car on the side of merors, while the investment slammed the car was minor damage. The owner of the car was apparently ballistic.

When my husband back to the office told him he was fired - the accident will "blow" after a few warnings for delays and other small things. It was now 2 years and is on probation or received a final warning.

His boss called again and said he was not released, was suspended on full pay, and he expects a letter.

We have heard. I try my head around the situation, and it seems that the company had tryig released immediately, and there is an investigation and hearing. But in the AMSt has no reason to shoot him? I had no car deliberately damaged the other man, he was not drunk, use drugs, do the talking on a mobile phone or anything to justify the "immoral behavior in the workplace.

Sensible answers would be interested in the information, thank you!
