Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Bristol Employment Tribunal on 19, 20 and 21 October 2020, a tribunal chaired by Employment Judge J Bax with lay members Ms S Maidment and Mr H Launder found that Mr T McGovern had been unfairly dismissed by Heritage Automotive Limited. The tribunal also dismissed the claims of direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, harassment relating to disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments.
The remedy was recorded as an agreed sum of £12,133.95 in respect of the unfair dismissal claim. That award was broken down into a basic award of £2,100.00 and a compensatory award of £10,033.95, consisting of £7,958.61 for loss of earnings from 27 September to 21 October 2020, £1,775.34 for future loss of earnings, and £300.00 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal also stated that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker’s Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 did not apply in this case.

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.
