Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant's breach of contract complaint succeeded, and the tribunal ordered Golden Gecko Climbing Limited to pay the gross sum of £1,573.29. No separate split between claims is recorded for that sum beyond the breach of contract award itself.
The claimant's unfair dismissal complaint also succeeded. The tribunal found there was a 50% chance that the claimant would have been made redundant had a fair procedure been adopted. It made no adjustment under section 207A(2) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Consolidation Act 1992 for failure by either party to follow the ACAS Code on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.
For remedy on the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal recorded a basic award of £0 because the claimant had already been paid a redundancy payment, and a compensatory award of £6,394.37. The combined monetary awards in the judgment total £7,967.66.

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.
