EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4119209/2018 Mr M McGlinchey

Respondent

British Gas Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal succeeded. The judgment was made under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.

The respondent had been sent the claim form on 13 September 2018 and was required to enter a response within 28 days under Rule 16, but failed to do so. The Employment Judge decided that liability could be determined without a hearing on the available material, but remedy could not.

The remedy to which the claimant was entitled was left to be determined by an Employment Judge at a hearing.

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.
