The tribunal dismissed the claimant's claim for a redundancy payment after considering the evidence presented over two days of hearing.
Facts
Mr Heron brought claims of unfair dismissal and for a redundancy payment against The Scottish Waterski Association Ltd. The hearing took place over two days in Edinburgh. Mr Heron represented himself while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both of Mr Heron's claims after hearing evidence and submissions over two days. The tribunal found in favour of the respondent employer on both the unfair dismissal claim and the claim for a redundancy payment.
Practical note
The judgment does not contain detailed reasoning, but represents a complete loss for an unrepresented claimant against a legally represented sporting charity employer.
