Claim dismissed

Constructive Dismissal, Unpaid Wages and Whistleblowing

  • protected disclosure detriments (whether claimant made qualifying disclosures and suffered detriments)
  • credibility of claimant's evidence

  • Qualifying period for unfair dismissal (s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996)
  • time limits for discrimination claims (s.123 Equality Act 2010)
  • just and equitable extension of time limits

Reference: 3302002/2025

Unfair Dismissal

Heard at Reading

The tribunal concluded the dismissal was unfair and upheld the claimant’s claim.

  • Whether there was a potentially fair reason for dismissal under ERA 1996 s98(1) (other substantial reason)

  • the appropriate Polkey reduction for any unfair dismissal compensation

22 Jan 2026
Claim dismissed

Unfair Dismissal and Other

Heard at Watford

The tribunal concluded the claimant had refused the required drug and alcohol test, breaching the substance‑misuse policy, so the dismissal was not automatically unfair nor a protected detriment.

Legal Issues (2)
  • Whether the summary dismissal for refusing a drug/alcohol test was a fair dismissal
  • whether the dismissal amounted to automatic unfair dismissal under TULRCA s152 (union‑related) and whether the claimant suffered a protected detriment under TULRCA s146
