Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out all complaints against the second respondent, Unite the Union, under Rule 37(1)(a). It recorded that those matters were outside the jurisdiction of an Employment Tribunal and therefore had no reasonable prospect of success.

The unfair dismissal complaint was also struck out. The tribunal recorded that when the claim was presented the claimant had neither been dismissed nor given notice terminating his employment.

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.
