Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Bristol Employment Tribunal hearing before Employment Judge Horder on 8 to 11 August 2022, the tribunal held that Mr Iain Hay had been constructively dismissed and that his dismissal was unfair. The extracted judgment text records those findings in summary form and does not give a fuller written analysis of the reasoning behind the dismissal findings.
The tribunal also found that Amberstone Security Ltd made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay commission payments for work done between April 2019 and 30 October 2020. The judgment states that the amount was to be assessed by the tribunal if not agreed, so no quantified figure is recorded in the extracted text.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without notice. No separate monetary award is given in the extracted text for any of the claims, and no overall total is stated.

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.
