Ms M Nicholls v Sciensus Pharma Services Limited — 2026

Following the final hearing on 25 and 26 March 2024, the Tribunal dismissed Ms Nicholls' unfair dismissal claim. It found that the meeting on 19 August 2022 was not a fundamental breach of contract, that none of the other matters relied upon breached the implied duty of trust and confidence, and that the claimant was not dismissed.

On reconsideration, Ms Nicholls challenged the findings concerning when she accepted new employment and whether she had time to prepare presentation slides for the 19 August meeting. Employment Judge Shore accepted that the finding about when she accepted the new job had not been clearly expressed, but concluded that this did not affect the findings that there was no fundamental breach of contract and no dismissal. The Tribunal maintained its finding that the claimant could have read the presentation before the meeting and dismissed the reconsideration application because there was no reasonable prospect of the judgment being varied or revoked. No monetary remedy was recorded.
