Insaidoo v Metropolitan Resources North West Ltd - judge had no power to decide unfair dismissal claim sitting alone

There are a number of claims which an Employment Judge has the power to hear and decide sitting alone, but an unfair dismissal claim is not one of them: such a claim must be considered by a full tribunal. 

Mr Insaidoo brought employment tribunal claims for constructive unfair dismissal and unlawful deductions from wages. The factual details are not given in this report and are, anyway, irrelevant to the points on appeal.
