Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Patrick Grobbelaar, brought claims against First Great Western Limited for unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal. The case was heard at Southampton Employment Tribunal via CVP on 18 and 19 February 2021 before Employment Judge M. Salter.
The written judgment records that both the unfair dismissal claim and the wrongful dismissal claim were dismissed. It also records that the respondent's application for costs was unsuccessful and was dismissed. The written record does not set out the tribunal's reasons beyond noting that reasons had been given orally at the hearing.

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.
