Claimant v Welsh Religious Buildings Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded after a two-day hearing on the merits. The claim was dismissed following full consideration of the evidence and submissions from both parties.
Facts
Miss C Moore brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Welsh Religious Buildings Trust, a charitable organisation. The case was heard over two days in Cardiff. The claimant was represented by a lay representative while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim, finding it was not well-founded. No awards were made to the claimant.
Practical note
The judgment provides no detailed reasoning, but demonstrates that even with representation on both sides, unfair dismissal claims can fail when the employer demonstrates a fair reason and reasonable process.
