Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dismissed Mrs J Launders' claim for unfair dismissal against Next Retail Ltd. Employment Judge Shergill sat alone, and reasons were given orally at the hearing.

The judgment records that the dismissal fell within the range of reasonable responses and was therefore not unfair under section 98(1)(b) and section 98(2)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. No remedy was awarded in the written 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.
