Claimant v Arthur J Gallagher Services (UK) Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract was not well-founded and dismissed the claim. The judgment provides no detailed reasoning, but the tribunal determined that the claimant had not established that the respondent breached the employment contract.
Facts
The claimant, Daniel Pinheiro Goodman, brought a breach of contract claim against his former employer Arthur J Gallagher Services (UK) Limited, a financial services company. The hearing was conducted remotely by video. The claimant was represented by his father as a lay representative, while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the breach of contract complaint, finding it was not well-founded. No award was made to the claimant. The judgment does not contain detailed written reasons, indicating this was a summary judgment.
Practical note
A claimant represented by a family member as lay representative faced a professionally represented respondent and failed to establish a breach of contract claim.
