Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the final hearing in Birmingham by CVP on 3 December 2021, before Employment Judge Dean, the tribunal found that Mrs D Sahota was unfairly dismissed by Domcare Limited on 10 March 2021. The respondent was not in attendance. The written record does not provide detailed reasons beyond the judgment terms, and no separate written reasons were issued.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,255.68 and a compensatory award of £4,600. It stated that the respondent had failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures and applied a 25% uplift under s207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The extracted text records a total unfair dismissal award of £7,944.00, although the stated component figures do not fully reconcile arithmetically on the face of the record.
The tribunal also upheld a claim for unlawful deductions from wages. It found deductions in respect of 2 weeks' pay of £418.56 and unpaid sick pay of £942.50, and ordered payment of £1,361.06 gross. In a separate finding, it held that the respondent failed to pay accrued and untaken holiday on termination and ordered £160.00 gross.

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.
