Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over two days from both parties appearing in person. After considering all the evidence and submissions, the tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded and dismissed the claim.
Facts
Mrs R Dodd brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Clyst Caring Friends, a charity organisation. Both parties appeared in person at a remote video hearing held over two days in June 2020. The tribunal heard evidence from both parties and considered their submissions on the unfair dismissal claim.
Decision
The tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded and dismissed the claim. The judgment was given orally at the hearing with reasons provided to the parties, though full written reasons were not included in the published judgment.
Practical note
Without detailed written reasons, this case serves as a reminder that claimants bear the burden of proving unfair dismissal and must present sufficient evidence to satisfy the tribunal that the dismissal was unfair.
