Mr C Gallagher v Amnack Ltd T/a Doncaster Cables: 1803743/2020
JUDGMENT
[1]By consent the name of the respondent is amended to Amnack Limited trading as Doncaster Cables.[2]The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal complaint or the complaint in respect of the redundancy payment. That is because the claimant’s effective date of termination was 19 June 2020 with the result that he did not have the requisite two years’ service.[3]Accordingly the complaints of unfair dismissal and in respect of redundancy pay are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.[4]The complaints in respect of unpaid wages, notice pay and holiday pay fail because the sums which the claimant sought were premised on the effective date of termination being 31 July 2020. Case No: 1803743/2020[5]In so far as the claimant complained about his company vehicle being taken from him during ‘furlough’, that did not represent a breach of contract and the only relevance it could have had was in relation to any remedy for unfair dismissal, which in the circumstances is not applicable.
