Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningTribunal Judge Holt sat alone at Manchester and heard the case on 21, 22, 23 and 24 October 2024, with 23 October 2024 in chambers. The written judgment records that the reasons had been given orally at the hearing. The claimant was Mr Samuel Ian Barkley and the respondent was Oldham Council.
The only claim recorded in the judgment was unfair dismissal under s.94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal found that the claimant was not unfairly dismissed. For that reason, the unfair dismissal claim did not succeed and was dismissed.
The judgment records no monetary award and no separate remedy assessment. It also records no discrimination, whistleblowing, or other additional claims.

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.
