Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant was employed from 18 June 2017 to 17 January 2020 and had two full years' service at dismissal. The Tribunal found the unfair dismissal claim made out. It awarded a basic award of £1,320 gross and compensatory loss of wages fixed from 18 January 2020 to 28 December 2020 at £17,485.71, with no award for loss after 28 December 2020 or for future loss.
The Tribunal also awarded £841.50 for the pension claim, £1,417.76 net for failure to provide a complaint statement of particulars, and £350 for loss of statutory rights. The claim for loss of benefit of accommodation was not made out. The holiday pay claim succeeded to the extent of two weeks' accrued but untaken holiday, assessed at £708.88.
A 25% uplift was added for failure to follow the ACAS code, producing a prescribed element of £21,857.14 net. The Tribunal said the Recoupment Regulations applied, identified an excess of £4,638.14, and recorded a total award of £26,495.28.

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.
