Facts
Mr Stevens brought a claim for unfair dismissal against his former employer, Oxalis Logistics Ltd. The case was heard over two days at the Bristol Employment Tribunal in June 2025. Mr Stevens represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
Employment Judge Oliver dismissed the unfair dismissal claim after a two-day hearing. The tribunal found against the claimant, concluding that the dismissal was fair or that the claimant had not established his case for unfair dismissal.
Practical note
