B&M Retail Ltd employment tribunal cases

Unfair Dismissal, Unpaid Wages and Other

Heard at Watford

The unfair dismissal claim was struck out because the claimant had less than two years' service and no exception applied; the remaining claim for breach of non-contractual procedures was struck out for having no reasonable prospect of success; wage claims were withdrawn.

Unpaid Wages and Breach of Contract

Heard at Manchester

The Tribunal found that the agreed salary at the interview was £32,000 and that the first contract sent was withdrawn before it was read or accepted.

Unfair Dismissal

The tribunal concluded that it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim on time, so the claim was allowed to proceed.

Unfair Dismissal and Breach of Contract

Heard at Liverpool

The tribunal refused the respondent’s costs application because the claimant’s conduct did not meet the threshold of vexatious or unreasonable behaviour and the amendment claim, while unlikely to succeed, was not deemed to have no reasonable prospect, and the claimant’s limited means were taken into account.

Other

Heard at Newcastle

The claimant's claim was struck out because the claimant did not attend the hearing.
