Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought complaints of breach of contract and unfair dismissal. The hearing was held by CVP at the Midlands West Employment Tribunal on 5 March 2026 before Employment Judge A Close sitting alone, with the Claimant for himself and the Respondent not in attendance.
The complaint of breach of contract was dismissed on withdrawal by the Claimant. The complaint of unfair dismissal under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded and upheld.
The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant a basic award of £686.40 and a compensatory award of £5,350, totalling £6,036.40. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply, with the prescribed element being £5,350 covering the period 3 April 2025 to 4 June 2025; the difference is £686.40.

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.
