Swindon Borough Council employment tribunal cases

Unfair Dismissal and Redundancy Pay

Both claims were struck out because the claimant had less than two years' service and therefore lacked the statutory right to bring them.

Constructive Dismissal

Heard at Bristol

The claimant's claim of constructive unfair dismissal failed because the alleged breaches, even where admitted, did not objectively amount to a fundamental breach of the implied term of trust and confidence, and the claimant had not resigned in response to any such breach.

Unfair Dismissal, Discrimination and Harassment

Heard at Bristol

The unfair dismissal claim was upheld because the dismissal was procedurally unfair, whereas the disability discrimination, reasonable adjustment and harassment claims were dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence.

Constructive Dismissal

Heard at Exeter

The claimant's claim of unfair constructive dismissal was dismissed because the tribunal found no repudiatory breach of contract by the employer.

Discrimination

Heard at Bristol

The tribunal concluded that the application of the absence management policy and the dismissal were a proportionate means of achieving the respondent's legitimate aims, so the claim of discrimination arising from disability failed.
