The insurance manager in Sydney, Australia won $10,000 (around £7,800) after pointing out he only watched porn on his lunch break.

He said there were no specific work rules preventing him from doing so.

However, he had been sacked in January after the porn - including a personal sex tape - was discovered on his work laptop.

The man took his case to the Fair Work Commission, where Commissioner Ian Cambridge agreed the dismissal was unfair.

He said: “In the particular circumstances of this case, the subsequently discovered misconduct involving the accessing, downloading and storage of pornographic material could not be properly held to represent valid reason for the dismissal of the applicant.”
