Mrs E Celik v Synnovis and Others: 2303999/2023 and 2304000/2023
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out against respondents (2) to (8) aboveREASONS
[1]This is a claim of unfair dismissal. The claimant has brought two claims arising out of the same dismissal and named all of the above respondents.[2]By letter dated 21 February 2020 Employment Judge Martin wrote to the claimant explaining that only her employer could be liable and inviting her to make any representations on the point.[3]In response, the claimant has argued, for example, that Mr Best took the decision to dismiss her and so he must be the employer, and that otherwise she would be without a remedy. That is not correct. Providing he was acting within the course of Case Number 2303999/2023 & 2304000/2023 Page 2 of 2 his employment then as a matter of law the actual employer is liable for any such decision on his part.[4]There appears to be no dispute that the first respondent is the correct employer. Accordingly any claims against the other respondents have no reasonable prospect of success.
