Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge Reed at Birmingham by video conference on 26-27 August 2020. The tribunal held that Miss J Hennessey's claims for unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal were not made out, and those claims were dismissed.
The tribunal did uphold the wage claim. It found that West Midlands Trains Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and directed the respondent to pay £1,000. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
