Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningRobert Fielder, appearing in person, succeeded in his claim that he was constructively unfairly dismissed when he resigned. The tribunal also found that he was summarily dismissed during his notice period and that the reason or principal reason for that dismissal was his protected disclosures and/or protected acts.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,575 and a compensatory award of £54,005.67. The compensatory award comprised £41,525 for salary loss, £1,754.40 for employer pension contributions, and £500 for loss of statutory rights, grossed up to reflect tax liabilities.
The tribunal further awarded £5,000 for injury to feelings and interest on that sum at 8% per annum for 498 days, assessed at £545.75. In breach of contract, the respondent was ordered to pay £914 for unpaid expenses. The respondent did not attend or represent itself at the hearing.

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.
