Individual claims

Unfair Dismissalfailed

The tribunal heard evidence over two days from both parties represented by counsel. After considering all the evidence and submissions, the tribunal concluded that the dismissal was fair and within the range of reasonable responses available to the employer. The complaint was therefore not well-founded.

Facts

Mr Rehman was employed by Roche Products Ltd, a pharmaceutical company. He was dismissed and brought an unfair dismissal claim. The case was heard over two days with both parties represented by counsel. The tribunal heard evidence and submissions from both sides.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint, finding it was not well-founded. The tribunal determined that the dismissal was fair and within the band of reasonable responses available to the employer.

Practical note

Even with full legal representation on both sides and a two-day hearing, a claimant's unfair dismissal claim can fail if the employer's decision to dismiss falls within the range of reasonable responses.
