Lying to Employment Tribunal Jason Robinson, 36, who managed a car hire firm in Falkirk, faked an employment contract and warning letter after a former employee accused him of harassment. Robinson created the documents to avoid paying her £1,750 compensation but was jailed for four months for perverting the course of justice when the documents were proven to be false. The employee stated that her wages were paid in cash and she had never been given a contract to sign. She later produced copies of her signature which differed from those on the forged documents. A tribunal ultimately found in her favour and she was awarded £29,500. When contacted by police officers about the discrepancy, Robinson admitted presenting the false documents and attempting to influence the judgement of the tribunal and pervert the course of justice. Sheriff Isabella McColl said the case was one of the most serious cases of attempting to pervert the course of justice she had seen. She told Robinson that the system of justice relied on honest evidence and to produce forged documents at an employment tribunal undermined the whole system.
