Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was upheld. The written judgment sets out a basic award of £2,690 and a compensatory award calculated from past losses of £15,672.21, future losses of £6,321.12 and loss of statutory right of £450, producing a subtotal of £25,133.33. From that subtotal, £11,417.99 was deducted for universal credit, leaving £13,715.34, and a 20% ACAS uplift of £2,743.06 was then added to reach total compensation for unfair dismissal of £16,458.40.
The claimant's breach of contract claim was also upheld. The tribunal awarded £2,078.10 for notice pay, £249.36 for holiday pay, and £831.24 for failure to provide a statement of particulars/terms and conditions, making total damages of £3,158.70. The written record notes that reasons for the judgment had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
