Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 2 September 2022 in Southampton, before Employment Judge Rayner, the Respondent did not attend. The tribunal declared that Mr Trevor Watts had been wrongfully dismissed without notice, unfairly dismissed, and automatically unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure. It also found that the Respondent had failed to provide a written statement of the claimant’s terms of employment, and that it had failed to comply with ACAS procedures before dismissal.
The compensation section awarded 4 weeks’ net notice pay of £1,174.12 for wrongful dismissal, a basic award of £2,047.56, £500.00 for loss of statutory employment rights, and £1,365.04 for failure to provide a written statement of terms and conditions. The tribunal also applied a 25% ACAS uplift, recorded as £757.50.
For the protected disclosure finding, the tribunal awarded £5,000.00 as a lower-band Vento award for injury to feelings. The judgment states a total award payable of £10,844.26. The written arithmetic includes one reference to £1,356.04 in the uplift calculation, although the written-terms award is listed elsewhere as £1,365.04.

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.
