The Tribunal was asked: ‘(1) was the Applicant employed under a fixed-term contract of apprenticeship, not terminable by the Respondent employer on notice, such that he has a claim for damages for breach of contract arising out of the termination of that contract by the Respondent on 18 January 1999 (the apprenticeship question)?
(2) if not, and the contract was terminable on notice, was the Tribunal wrong in law in finding that although the dismissal by reason of redundancy was unfair, there was a fifty per cent chance that the Applicant would have been dismissed fairly had a proper procedure been followed? ( the Polkey point).
(3) was the Tribunal’s decision flawed for lack of adequate reasons insofar as they found that the period of future loss of earnings was limited to 4 weeks from the date of the Tribunal hearing (future loss)?’
