William Hill has been instructed to pay nearly £70,000 to a former executive after an employment tribunal concluded he was unfairly dismissed. The ruling followed allegations of sexual harassment and a subsequent flawed internal investigation.
Joe Tobin, previously the "head of search" at the gambling firm, was dismissed without notice last year. It came after a disciplinary hearing in August found he had touched a female colleague’s body and stuck his fingers in her mouth in a pub in Soho where people were watching England play Denmark in the Euros on June 20.
