Claimant v Newport City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the case over two days and determined that the dismissal was fair. The judgment states the claim is not well founded and is dismissed, indicating the respondent successfully defended the unfair dismissal claim.
Facts
Ms Braisby was employed by Newport City Council and was dismissed. She brought an unfair dismissal claim before the Employment Tribunal. The case was heard over two days in Newport in December 2025. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found that the dismissal was fair and not unlawful. The unfair dismissal claim was not well founded and was dismissed. The claimant was unrepresented while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Practical note
Without written reasons, this judgment provides limited learning value beyond confirming that a two-day hearing resulted in the council successfully defending an unfair dismissal claim brought by an unrepresented claimant.
