Facts
Mr Wilcox brought claims against Asda Stores Limited relating to his dismissal. He alleged direct age discrimination, unfair dismissal, and breach of contract. The case was heard over five days before a full tribunal panel with both parties represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all three claims brought by the claimant. The tribunal found that none of the complaints - direct age discrimination, unfair dismissal, or breach of contract - were well-founded. Detailed reasons were provided orally at the hearing.
Practical note
A claimant challenging dismissal on grounds of age discrimination and unfair dismissal must establish the factual and legal basis for their claims to succeed before a tribunal.
