Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application to strike out the response. It then upheld Mr A Piaszczynski's unfair dismissal complaint against Leakers Limited and awarded a basic award of £2,040.00 and a compensatory award of £12,575.21. The judgment records that both sums were reduced by 50% under ss. 122(2) and 123(6) ERA 1996 and then increased by 25% under s. 207A TULR(C)A 1992.

The tribunal also found that the claimant had not received amendments to his terms and conditions of employment in breach of ss. 1 and 4 ERA 1996. For that claim it awarded a further £1,088, being two weeks' pay, under s. 38 EA 2002 because it was not just and equitable to award more. The judgment records a total monetary award of £15,703.21.

The claimant's complaints of breach of contract relating to notice, unpaid holiday pay and unlawful deductions from wages were dismissed.

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.
