Mr D Jackson v Denso Marston Ltd: 1807129/2020
JUDGMENT
The Claimant was fairly dismissed on grounds of redundancy. The complaint of unfair dismissal is not well-foundedREASONS
There is no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked, because The decision was made upon clear findings of fact that this was indeed a dismissal for redundancy (as defined by the Employment Rights Act), and not a sham, and a further finding that the decision to select of the Claimant from a pool of two was within the band of reasonable responses open to a reasonable employer and therefore the dismissal was fair. The Claimant’s lengthy application indicates that he disagrees with that decision, but it is essentially a repetition of the arguments already put forward, and rejected at the hearing, or is not in fact relevant to the issues in the case. In so far as the application contains any “new evidence” that was not put before the original hearing – even if it were proper to admit it at this stage - it would not in any way affect the findings of material fact that have already been made.
