Claimant v Wiltshire Council
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was not well-founded. The claimant failed to establish that the respondent had breached the implied term of trust and confidence or that she had resigned in response to a fundamental breach of contract entitling her to treat herself as dismissed.
Facts
Mrs N Parish brought a claim of constructive unfair dismissal against Wiltshire Council. The case was heard over two days by video hearing. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by counsel. Full written reasons were not provided as the judgment and reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim, finding that the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was not well-founded. The claimant failed to establish the necessary elements for a successful constructive dismissal claim under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Practical note
A claimant representing herself against a local authority represented by counsel failed to establish the fundamental breach necessary for constructive dismissal.
