Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously held that the claimant was not dismissed by the respondent. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was not well founded and was dismissed.
The tribunal also found that, at no time material to the claim, the claimant made disclosures qualifying for protection within section 43B of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claim for protected disclosure detriment under sections 47B, 48 and 49 was therefore dismissed.
The claimant’s age discrimination complaint was dismissed because the tribunal found that the respondent did not act towards him in contravention of section 39 of the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal further dismissed the claims for unpaid wages and/or breach of contract relating to the alleged non-payment of a March 2019 bonus and an increased salary from January 2019.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
