Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard on 19 and 20 May 2025 by Employment Judge Winfield at a Cloud Video Platform hearing. The claimant, Mr Declan Beales, did not attend. The respondent, Lee Abbey Fellowship, was represented by Mr Paul Roberts of Keelys.
The tribunal dismissed the respondent's application to strike out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(c). It then considered the substantive complaint of unfair dismissal and found that it was not well-founded. The judgment states that Mr Beales was not unfairly dismissed.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing. The written record notes that written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal rules. No monetary award was recorded.

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.
