Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard at Bristol on 23, 24 and 25 November 2022 before Employment Judge Leith, with Mr K Hebditch appearing in person and Weston Super Mare Town Council represented by counsel. The tribunal recorded three complaints: automatically unfair dismissal contrary to section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, unfair dismissal, and wrongful dismissal.

All three complaints were found not well founded and were dismissed. The written record does not set out the tribunal's full reasons, stating that reasons were given orally at the hearing. It also states that written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days of the sending of the written record.

No monetary award was made and no remedy figures are recorded in the judgment.

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.
