Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council employment tribunal cases

Unfair dismissal

Heard at Southampton

The tribunal held the dismissal was unfair and the council failed to make reasonable adjustments, awarding a basic unfair dismissal award and injury‑to‑feelings damages, but dismissed the wrongful dismissal claim and reduced the compensatory award to nil.

Unfair Dismissal (with related claims of wrongful dismissal, whistleblowing detriment, direct discrimination, harassment and failure to make reasonable adjustments)

The application to amend was refused because the proposed changes introduced new distinct allegations and were made too late, causing undue prejudice and failing the Tribunal’s balancing exercise.
