Claimant v IRD UK Consulting Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claim for unfair dismissal was not well-founded after hearing evidence from both parties over two days. The judgment provides no detailed reasoning but the claim was dismissed following a full merits hearing.
The tribunal concluded that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well-founded. After considering the evidence presented by both self-represented parties, the tribunal was not satisfied that any unlawful deductions had been made.
The tribunal determined that the claimant's claim for a redundancy payment was not well-founded. This suggests either that no redundancy situation existed or that the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment.
Facts
Yuen Lai brought claims against IRD UK Consulting Ltd for unfair dismissal, unauthorised deductions from wages, and redundancy payment. Both parties were self-represented. The case was heard over two days at London Central Employment Tribunal in April 2025.
Decision
Employment Judge Dowling dismissed all three claims, finding each to be not well-founded. The judgment did not include written reasons, indicating that the tribunal was not satisfied on the evidence that the claimant had established any of the claims brought.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant failed to establish their claims for unfair dismissal, wage deductions, and redundancy payment against a consulting company at a two-day full merits hearing.
