Mr R Meredith v The Royal Mail Group Ltd: 1600011/2019
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint brought by the claimant under section 23 Employment Rights Act 1996 is not well-founded and is dismissed.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal has received a request for reconsideration of the Judgment of Employment Judge Brace following a Hearing which took place on 22 October 2019. The request for reconsideration is made by the claimant dated 19 November 2019 following Written Reasons having been sent out to the parties on 5 November 2019.[2]Having considered the request for reconsideration, the request is refused pursuant to rule 72(1) Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. There is no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked.[3]The reasons why the request is refused are as follows:a. The question of whether the claimant was employed by the respondent as a supervisor is a matter of fact and the Tribunal concluded that the claimant was not, on the balance of probabilities, engaged in a supervisory capacity (Paragraph 42 Written Reasons). 1600011/2019b. The employment tribunal has no jurisdiction to consider any breach of contract claim and any arrears of pay proceeded as a complaint under s.13 Employment Rights Act 10996 (see paragraph 4 case management summary from preliminary hearing of 29 April 2019).c. I concluded that the claimant’s assimilation was based on the substantive grade he held in 2001 (see paragraph 45 Written Reasons).d. The purpose of the reconsideration is not to provide the parties with the opportunity of adducing further evidence or to seek to re-argue the same point.e. There is a strong public interest that there should, so far as possible, be finality of litigation.f. It is not necessary in the interest of justice for the Judgment to be reconsidered.
