Claimant v The Co-operative Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence and submissions from both parties at a full merits hearing. After considering all the evidence, the tribunal concluded that the dismissal was fair and the claim was not well founded.
Facts
Mr Piatkowski was employed by the Co-operative Group Ltd. His employment was terminated and he brought a claim of unfair dismissal. The matter proceeded to a full merits hearing heard remotely by CVP. The claimant represented himself and the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal heard oral reasons and dismissed the unfair dismissal claim, finding it was not well founded. This means the tribunal was satisfied that the dismissal was fair in all the circumstances.
Practical note
An unfair dismissal claim against the Co-operative Group was unsuccessful after a full merits hearing where the self-represented claimant was unable to establish that the dismissal was unfair.
