SA Brain is the largest brewer in South Wales and Mr Phillipart was employed by them as manager of a pub in Cardiff. In 2004 he fell out with his line manager, a friend of some 20 years standing. He was dismissed the following year for various alleged acts of misconduct and on the basis that "the extent of your resentment towards [the line manager] and the Company leaves me to conclude that the situation is irretrievable".
