Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr D. Dunne brought one claim against the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police, namely unfair dismissal from police service. At the public preliminary hearing on 16 May 2024, Employment Judge McNeill KC held that the Employment Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the claim because of section 200 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and that none of the statutory exceptions applied.
The claim was therefore dismissed. The judgment records that full reasons were given orally at the hearing. It also sets out directions for any application by the Respondent for costs, but no costs award was made in this decision.

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.
