Oakham Town Clerk's Unfair Dismissal Claim Struck Out

In a recent development, the unfair dismissal case brought by former Oakham Town Clerk, Ben Tassell, against Oakham Town Council has been struck out by HM Courts & Tribunals Service. This decision comes after significant legal costs were incurred by local taxpayers in the course of the proceedings.

The case, which had been ongoing for some time, cantered on Mr. Tassell's claims of unfair dismissal from his position as Town Clerk. However, the details surrounding the specific allegations and the reasons for the dismissal have not been publicly disclosed.

The decision to strike out the case raises questions about the nature of the claims and the evidence presented by Mr. Tassell. It also highlights the financial implications of such legal proceedings for local authorities, particularly when cases are dismissed or fail to proceed.

Oakham Town Council has yet to comment publicly on the matter. However, the outcome of the case is likely to be of interest to local residents and taxpayers who have borne the financial burden of the legal proceedings.
