Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Sally Ann Blake’s claim of constructive unfair dismissal succeeded against Stapletons Accountants Ltd. No separate discrimination, wages, or contractual claims are recorded in the judgment extract. The decision was issued by Employment Judge J Bax after the hearing at Exeter on 2 and 3 September 2019.
The tribunal awarded compensation in the total sum of £7,720.25. It recorded a full basis award of £10,215.00, made up of a basic award of £9,625.00 and compensatory elements for loss of employer pension contributions of £90.00 and loss of statutory rights of £500.00. The award was then reduced by 25% under s.122 and by 15% under s.123, resulting in a basic award of £7,218.75 and compensatory elements of £76.50 and £425.00.
The judgment states that the recoupment provisions did not apply. No further reasons for liability are set out in the extracted text, and no lay members are listed, indicating a judge-alone decision.

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.
