Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Exeter on 1 and 2 August 2022 before Employment Judge Lang, the tribunal found that Anita West was unfairly dismissed by Truck and Trailer Specialist Southern Limited. It awarded a basic award of £2,352.00 and a compensatory award of £3,942.40, with the compensatory award including a 10% uplift for breach of the ACAS Code of Practice.
The claimant's wrongful dismissal claim also succeeded, but the tribunal made no separate award for notice pay because it said the compensatory award for unfair dismissal already covered that loss.
The tribunal further ordered the respondent to pay £448.00, stated to be two weeks' pay, under section 38 of the Employment Rights Act 2002 because it had failed to provide the written particulars required by section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The total payable under the judgment was £6,742.40.

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.
