Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Savin Dollie, brought claims against ER Travel Services Limited (in administration). Employment Judge Fowell heard the case by video on 10 February 2021. The respondent did not appear. The tribunal held that the claimant's dismissal was unfair and that it was also in breach of contract.
The tribunal awarded an increase of 15% in compensation for the respondent's failure to comply with the requirements of the ACAS Code of Practice. It also recorded that no deduction was made for contributory negligence and no Polkey deduction was applied on the basis that a fair procedure would have led to the same outcome.
Compensation was awarded in the total sum of £20,826.53. For unfair dismissal, the award comprised a basic award of £1,050.00 and a compensatory award of £18,821.37, made up of £16,524.84 for losses to date and £2,296.53 for future loss. A further £955.16 was awarded for breach of contract in respect of two weeks' notice. The tribunal stated that the recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
