Claimant v Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant's dismissal was not unfair within the terms of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The reasons were given orally at the hearing. The claim therefore fails.
The tribunal found that the claimant's claim for unpaid holiday pay was not well founded. The reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Facts
Mr Naik brought claims for unfair dismissal and unpaid holiday pay against Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited. The case was heard over two days in August 2025 before Employment Judge Shrimplin. Both parties were legally represented with the claimant represented by a solicitor and the respondent by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal found against the claimant on both claims. The dismissal was found to be fair within the terms of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the holiday pay claim was not well founded. The tribunal gave its reasons orally.
Practical note
Without written reasons being requested and provided, this judgment offers limited precedent value but demonstrates the importance of establishing both substantive and procedural fairness in dismissal cases.
