NCT tester used one car to pass another

The firm that operates the National Car Test (NCT) hired a private investigator to spy on a tester it suspected of breaching its code of integrity.

Philip Billingsley was subsequently sacked and the Employment Appeals Tribunal has now dismissed Mr Billingsley’s claim for unfair dismissal.

It found the dismissal was fair after concluding that Mr Billingsley used one car to pass another car’s test.
