Case Summary

The claimant, a Polish swim teacher employed between April 2023 and October 2024, brought multiple claims against her employer. The tribunal struck out claims for constructive unfair dismissal, breach of contract (notice pay), unauthorised deductions relating to training/mentoring, and victimisation as having no reasonable prospect of success. The race discrimination claim was permitted to proceed but subject to a £25 deposit order.

Why this outcome?

No reasonable prospects

The tribunal struck out multiple claims as having no reasonable prospect of success. The constructive dismissal claim failed because the claimant did not establish that any statutory right had been infringed. The breach of contract claim failed because an employee who resigns is not entitled to notice pay. The unauthorised deductions claim for training/mentoring failed because the claimant could not establish it was not reasonably practicable to present the claim within the statutory time limit. The victimisation claim had no reasonable prospect of success. The race discrimination claim was permitted to proceed but required a £25 deposit due to little prospect of success.
