Claimant v Launceston Leisure Centre Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the case over two days and found against the claimant on disability discrimination. The claim was dismissed following a full merits hearing.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim for want of jurisdiction, likely indicating the claimant did not have the requisite two years' qualifying service to bring such a claim.
The claimant's claim for breach of contract in respect of pay in lieu of notice was withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed on withdrawal.
Facts
Mr Harrison brought claims against Launceston Leisure Centre Limited and Mr Davey personally, including disability discrimination, unfair dismissal, and breach of contract for notice pay. The case was heard over two days in Bodmin. Mr Harrison represented himself while Mr Davey represented the respondents.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all three claims. The disability discrimination claim failed on its merits after a full hearing. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, suggesting insufficient qualifying service. The breach of contract claim was withdrawn by the claimant.
Practical note
An unrepresented claimant bringing disability discrimination and unfair dismissal claims against a leisure centre lost comprehensively, with the unfair dismissal claim dismissed for lack of jurisdiction likely due to insufficient service.
