Hello and welcome to the forum. I think we're going to need more information if we're going to be able to advise you.

 

You seem to be saying the company didn't follow disciplinary procedures; do you mean their own or the ACAS guidelines please? Can you tell us what you were dismissed for? It sounds as if the company booklet could be talking about gross misconduct if they can miss out some of the stages.

 

And what outcome are you looking for?

Honey Bee is correct. You need to supply more information before we can give you decent advice. the best place to start is normally the beginning!

 

If you have been summarily dismissed for a gross misconduct offence, then it isn't necessary to issue any kind of warning beforehand, but you really need to give us more info first.
