Claimant v St Helens Windows Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined at a preliminary hearing on 29 November 2024 that the claimant was dismissed by the respondent on 5 May 2023. At this remedy hearing, the tribunal concluded that the dismissal was unfair, and awarded compensation accordingly.
The complaint of disability discrimination was withdrawn by the claimant at the preliminary hearing case management before Judge Holmes on 26 January 2024, and was therefore dismissed.
Facts
The claimant was dismissed by the respondent on 5 May 2023. A preliminary hearing on 29 November 2024 established that dismissal had occurred. The claimant had also brought a disability discrimination claim, which was withdrawn at an earlier case management hearing on 26 January 2024. The parties consented to the tribunal determining the unfair dismissal claim at a remedy hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found the dismissal to be unfair and awarded the claimant £12,329.24 in full and final settlement. The disability discrimination complaint was dismissed as it had been withdrawn at the earlier preliminary hearing. The respondent was ordered to pay within 28 days.
Practical note
This case demonstrates a straightforward unfair dismissal award following consent of the parties at a remedy hearing after a preliminary hearing had already established that dismissal had occurred.
