Claimant v Barchester Healthcare Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal to be well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed. Oral reasons were given at the hearing but written reasons were not requested or provided, so the specific basis for the finding is not detailed in this judgment.
Facts
This is a liability judgment only. The claimant, Mr J Maddox, brought an unfair dismissal claim against his former employer, Barchester Healthcare Limited, a healthcare company. A three-day full merits hearing was held in Manchester in August 2025. The tribunal heard evidence and submissions from both parties.
Decision
Employment Judge Cookson found that the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that he was unfairly dismissed. Oral reasons were given at the hearing. No written reasons have been requested or provided, so the detailed basis for the tribunal's findings is not available from this judgment.
Practical note
This is a liability-only judgment finding unfair dismissal, with remedy presumably to follow at a separate hearing.
