JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellant | NO APPEARANCE OR REPRESENTATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE APPELANT |
JUDGE WILKIE QC:
"The final meeting on 1 December was a time when both Mr Garside and the Applicant were frank with each other. Mr Garside had realised that the Applicant was not happy. The Applicant had lost interest in his work. Quite properly, Mr Garside advised the Applicant to take legal advice and that proposal resulted in the Applicant resigning and claiming constructive dismissal. The Tribunal cannot identify any serious breach by the employer of the conditions of the Applicant's service. It rather takes the view that, in a rather bumbling way, Mr Garside tried to please. The dismissal complaints therefore fail. There was no action on the part of the Respondent which could be said to cause a breakdown in the relationship between employer and employee or unreasonable behaviour going to the root of their relationship."
