Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Gary Hayden brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Flowserve Flow Control, which was received on 12 July 2023 after early conciliation. The claim form gave very little detail beyond the phrase “unfair dismissal based on a buildup of factors”. The respondent’s response denied unfair dismissal and said the dismissal was for capability. The case was listed for a public CVP hearing on 16 January 2024 before Employment Judge Tsamados sitting alone.

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.
