Facts of the Case

Background

Appellant was dismissed from employment after being found guilty of willful loss or damage of company property and conduct inconsistent with employment contract. He appealed, claiming he was initially charged with theft but the charge was changed, and that he was only performing his duties by disposing of waste paper. The court found the dismissal was justified based on evidence that he destroyed books that were not rejects.
