This claim is continuing to a final hearing and was not determined at this preliminary hearing.
Facts
Mr Hamlyn was employed by Fedex Express and brought claims including unfair dismissal, unauthorised deduction from wages, and disability discrimination. The case proceeded to a preliminary hearing to determine jurisdictional issues. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal determined it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal complaint and dismissed it. The remaining complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages and disability discrimination were unaffected and will proceed to a final hearing.
Practical note
A preliminary hearing can result in partial dismissal of claims where jurisdictional issues such as time limits or qualifying service are not satisfied, while allowing other claims to proceed.
