Claimant v Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined that the complaint of unfair dismissal had no reasonable prospects of success and struck it out under tribunal rules. The claimant was unrepresented and the claim was deemed to lack merit sufficient to proceed.
Facts
Deiniol Lloyd brought an unfair dismissal complaint against Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue Service. The case came before the tribunal on 14 August 2025 for what appears to be a preliminary hearing. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel Mr Lewis-Bale.
Decision
Employment Judge S Povey struck out the unfair dismissal complaint on the basis that it had no reasonable prospects of success. Oral reasons were given at the hearing but no written reasons are provided in the judgment document.
Practical note
A strike-out for no reasonable prospects of success is a complete bar to pursuing the claim and represents a significant procedural loss for an unrepresented claimant at an early stage.
