APPEARANCES
For the Appellant NO APPEARANCE BY OR
ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT
JUDGE J HICKS QC: In the case of Mr Peter Wood v. Fylde Transport Limited, we dismiss the appeal. The Appellant has not attended nor is he represented; we can therefore deal with the matter fairly briefly.
The Appellant was a bus driver employed by the Respondent, Fylde Transport Ltd, and he was dismissed after an allegation by the mother of a teenage passenger who had alleged that the Appellant assaulted her son. There was a conflict between that complaint and the Appellant's version in regard to some details, but he accepted that he had lifted the boy out of his seat by grabbing him by the jacket lapels.
The Industrial Tribunal dealt in a full decision, their reasons extending to some 12 pages, with all the matters that were canvassed before them by the Appellant, who was represented, and it seems to us having, all of us, read those reasons that the Industrial Tribunal addressed all the matters which they should have addressed, that they applied the right tests to the decision they had to make and that there is no basis on which their decision can arguably be attacked. We therefore dismiss this appeal.
