Duncombe, Fletcher & Others v Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families - tribunal jurisdiction in cases with a foreign element.
The principles laid down by the House of Lords in the Lawson v Serco case (regarding jurisdiction of employment tribunals in cases with an overseas element) apply to cases brought under UK statutes. Therefore they do not apply to claims which could be founded on a directly enforceable right under EU law or to breach of contract claims. They do apply to "ordinary" unfair dismissal claims.
