Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis is the remedy judgment following an earlier liability determination of unfair dismissal. The Employment Judge ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £5,487.33 in compensation.
The basic award was calculated as 7.5 weeks at £518.04 per week (£3,885.30), reduced by 10% for contributory fault under s.122(2) Employment Rights Act 1996 (deduction of £388.53), giving £3,496.53.
The compensatory award was £1,990.80, comprising a prescribed element of £1,540.80 (4 weeks at £428.00 per week from 13 April 2024 to 10 May 2024, less 10% contributory fault under s.123(6) ERA) and a non-prescribed element for loss of statutory rights of £450 (£500 less 10% s.123(6) reduction). The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply to the prescribed element. Reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
