Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim for wrongful dismissal (notice pay) was not well founded. The claimant was unable to establish that the dismissal was wrongful or that notice pay was owed by the respondent.
Facts
Mr O Bailey brought a claim for wrongful dismissal against Belle Vue (Manchester) Ltd seeking notice pay. The claim was heard at a one-day hearing in Manchester with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by its director Mr P Hitchen.
Decision
Employment Judge KM Ross found that the claimant's claim for wrongful dismissal (notice pay) was not well founded and dismissed the claim. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
A wrongful dismissal claim fails where the claimant cannot establish that the dismissal breached the contract of employment or that notice pay remains outstanding.
