Mr A Akerele v ICTS (UK) Ltd: 2200346/2020
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of unfair dismissal under section 104 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 is not well-founded;[2]The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to consider a complaint of unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996;[3]The complaints of race discrimination are not well-founded. Employment Judge - Grewal Date : 29/09/2020REASONS
There is no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked because:[1]The Claimant had a fair hearing. The hearing lasted one day. The Tribunal read the witnesses statements and looked at the documents from 10.30 to 1 p.m. That included the Claimant’s statement which comprised 16 typed pages. The Claimant was cross-examined from 2 to 2.50 p.m. He had the opportunity to cross-examine the Respondent’s two witnesses. Both parties made closing submissions. The Tribunal gave its decision with reasons at 3.55 p.m.[2]The Tribunal determined the issues that had been identified at the preliminary hearing following a long discussion with the Claimant to clarify and understand theissues.
[3]If the Claimant contends that there was an error of law or misdirection on the part of the Tribunal, that is a ground for appeal to the EAT. The Tribunal does not accept that there was any such error. Case No: 2200346/2020
