Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant's dismissal was fair and that the dismissal was not in breach of contract. It also dismissed the complaint of automatically unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure.
The tribunal dismissed the complaint of discrimination on grounds of race. The written judgment lists that dismissal twice but gives no written reasons or separate description of distinct race discrimination complaints.
The tribunal found no breach of Regulation 11 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 in relation to holiday pay and held that the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment. It upheld the unlawful deduction from wages complaint in respect of pay while suspended and awarded a gross sum of £20,095.31, noting that the respondent could satisfy the award by paying the claimant the net amount due and paying HMRC any tax and national insurance deducted at source.

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.
