Mr D Dunne v Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police: 3314550/2023
[1]The Claimant’s claim against the Respondent is dismissed on grounds that the only claim brought by the Claimant against the Respondent is a claim for his unfair dismissal from police service. Because of the provisions of section 200 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Employment Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear his claim, none of the exceptions in section 200 being applicable in his case.[2]If the Respondent wishes to apply for an order that the Claimant pay the Respondent’s costs of the claim, he must apply in writing to the Tribunal, with a copy to the Claimant, on or before 30 May 2024, setting out his reasons for applying for costs and the amount of the costs sought.[3]Following receipt of any such application, the Claimant may respond to the application in writing within 14 days, setting out whether he opposes the application, and if so why, and providing documentary evidence of his means, including statements from any bank and savings accounts for the last three months, details of his current earnings and details of any assets held and any outstanding debts. The Claimant should send his response both to the Respondent and to the Tribunal.[4]Any application made by the Respondent as above and any reply from the Claimant should be marked for my attention.
