Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Midgley found that Mr G Stannard was an employee of Solent Civils Limited and held that the respondent unfairly dismissed him, failed to pay notice in breach of contract, and made unlawful deductions from wages. The respondent did not attend the hearing.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,575 and recorded the compensatory award as capped at £72,000. The compensatory calculation referred to loss of statutory rights of £500, loss of earnings of £65,077.14, and a 25% uplift under section 207A TULRCA 1992 of £16,394.29.
The tribunal separately awarded £8,169.86 gross for unlawful deduction of wages and £1,065.20 gross for accrued but untaken annual leave. Notice pay was recorded as nil because that loss had already been compensated in the loss of earnings award, and the ordered sums total £81,235.06.

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.
