Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal upheld Mr King's complaint of constructive unfair dismissal under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It awarded a basic award of £1,438, calculated using capped weekly pay of £719 and a multiplier of two based on his age of 32 and two years' service. The compensatory award was £21,034, comprising £300 for loss of statutory rights and £20,734 for loss of earnings from June 2025 to April 2026.
The Tribunal separately upheld complaints of unauthorised deductions from pay. It awarded £16,124 for pay due from 1 January to 13 May 2025, calculated as the monthly wage of £3,583 for 4.5 months, and £3,583 for unpaid salary for December 2025. It also upheld the breach-of-contract complaint concerning two weeks' statutory notice pay and awarded £1,156, calculated using weekly gross pay of £827 after deducting £498 paid by the respondent in April 2025.
The complaint concerning holiday accrued but unpaid on termination under the Working Time Regulations 1998 was dismissed. The respondent was ordered to pay a total gross sum of £43,335. The recoupment regulations did not apply because Mr King had not received State benefits.

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.
