Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over two days and concluded that the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded. The tribunal determined that the dismissal was fair and the respondent acted reasonably in the circumstances.
Facts
Mr Robert Town was dismissed by Sodexo Limited. He brought an unfair dismissal claim to the Employment Tribunal. The hearing took place over two days in Liverpool before Employment Judge Johnson, with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded and therefore unsuccessful. Oral reasons were given at the hearing but written reasons were not provided in the judgment.
Practical note
The tribunal determined after a two-day hearing that Sodexo Limited's dismissal of Mr Town was fair, with the unrepresented claimant unsuccessful against a legally represented employer.
