Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Birmingham by CVP on 11 and 12 March 2021, with Employment Judge Dean sitting alone. The claimant represented himself and the respondent was represented by Mr I Lovejoy, legal executive.
The tribunal held that the claimant was fairly dismissed by Protolabs Ltd for some other substantial reason entitling the respondent to terminate his employment under section 98(1)(a) and section 98(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claimant’s complaint of unfair dismissal did not succeed and was dismissed.
The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
