Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr B Ahern's claim of unfair dismissal was well founded and that he had been unfairly dismissed by Cleanse Medical Limited. The judgment was given orally at the hearing and the written record states that the remedy would be decided at a further hearing to be listed in due course.
Although no final monetary award was set in this judgment, the tribunal recorded remedy-related findings. It found that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 and said it was just and equitable to increase any compensatory award by 10% under s 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The tribunal also found that the claimant caused or contributed to his dismissal by blameworthy conduct and that it was just and equitable to reduce any compensatory award by 75%. It further held that it was just and equitable to reduce the basic award by 75% because of the claimant's conduct before dismissal. No final remedy figure appears in the written record provided.

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.
