Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant claimed unfair dismissal after her employment with Iceland Foods Ltd ended in July 2018. The Tribunal considered whether she had resigned, whether any resignation was made in the heat of the moment, whether it had been rescinded, and whether she had been constructively dismissed.
The Tribunal found that the Claimant voluntarily resigned by text and verbally, and that the resignation was not made in the heat of the moment. It accepted the Respondent's evidence that the Claimant did not revoke her resignation and that attempts were later made to contact her about possible reinstatement.
On the constructive dismissal issues, the Tribunal rejected the matters relied on by the Claimant, including rota arrangements, holiday refusal, alleged bullying, and lack of a locker. It found that the Respondent acted reasonably, that there was no breach of contract as alleged, and dismissed the claim.

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.
