Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs K Clapham brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Sefton Meadows Garden Centre Limited. The case was heard by Employment Judge Buzzard sitting alone at Liverpool by CVP on 10 December 2020, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by counsel.
The tribunal's only substantive finding recorded in the written judgment was that the claimant was not found to have been dismissed. On that basis, the tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim could not succeed and dismissed it. No separate remedy assessment or award was made because the claim failed at the threshold issue of dismissal.

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.
