Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Southampton Employment Tribunal on 6, 7, 8 and 9 November 2023 before Employment Judge G. King, with lay members Mrs K. Symonds and Mr J. Ruddick. The claimant, Mr J. Larkin, appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mr Wheaton, counsel.
The tribunal recorded the claimant's claim as automatic unfair dismissal under s.103A Employment Rights Act 1996 and found that it was not well founded. The claim was therefore dismissed.
The written record notes that reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing, and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested by either party within 14 days of the sending of the written record of the decision.

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.
