Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that HI Q Windows Ltd made an unauthorised deduction of £330.46 gross from Mr Singh’s wages during 7–13 October 2023. It awarded that sum plus a 25% uplift of £82.61 because the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015.
The notice-pay breach of contract complaint was well-founded. The Tribunal awarded £1,598.79 net in damages and applied a 25% ACAS Code uplift of £399.70. It also held that Mr Singh was unfairly dismissed and awarded £6,278.74 as a basic award and £17,183.92 as a compensatory award, those figures being the sums payable after applicable deductions and uplifts.
The compensatory award accounted for two weeks’ gross pay because the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide written employment particulars when proceedings began. The Tribunal found no exceptional circumstances making a two-week award unjust or inequitable and considered a four-week award not just and equitable. The accrued holiday-pay complaint was dismissed on withdrawal. The sums ordered across the upheld claims total £25,874.22.

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.
