Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Smail, sitting by video at Exeter on 12 August 2022, held that Ms Forbes was constructively dismissed without notice, or alternatively that she was dismissed on the basis that notice would be paid. The tribunal therefore ordered payment of contractual 1 month’s net notice pay in the sum of £1,100.
The tribunal also found that Ms Forbes was entitled to 20 days accrued but untaken holiday pay, quantified at £1,400 gross. The total sum ordered was £2,500, payable within 14 days of the judgment. Full oral reasons were given at the hearing, and any written reasons were to be requested within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.

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.
