Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that RAEF Limited unfairly dismissed Mrs B Gill and also wrongfully dismissed her, so her notice pay claim succeeded. It rejected the claims of automatically unfair dismissal and detriment for making protected disclosures.
The tribunal recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 did not apply. It ordered RAEF to pay £3,404.00 in respect of the unfair dismissal claim.
The award comprised a basic award of £1,088.00 and a compensatory award. The compensatory award included loss of earnings from 4 December 2018 to 7 January 2019, job-seeking expenses, loss of statutory rights (£500.00), and a 20% uplift for failure to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary And Grievance Procedures 2015 (£386.00). The extracted text renders the job-seeking expenses line unclearly, but the tribunal's total award was £3,404.00. No separate award was made for breach of contract because that amount was already included in the compensatory award and a further award would have been double recovery.

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.
