Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the video hearing on 15 June 2021, with the respondent not attending and no response entered under Rule 21, Employment Judge Gray held that Mr Gallimore had suffered unauthorised deductions from wages both as a worker and as an employee. The tribunal also found that he was constructively dismissed and that the dismissal was unfair because the principal reason was his making of a qualifying protected disclosure.

The tribunal awarded £281.25 for worker wages, £1,618.20 and £2,092.50 for employee wages, and £11,508.75 by way of compensatory award. It also awarded £400 for personal work equipment lost as a result of dismissal and £1,395 for failure to provide written particulars of employment, making a total monetary award of £17,295.70.

The compensatory award was subject to the Recoupment Regulations 1996. The judgment recorded a prescribed element of £2,755 attributable to the period September 2020 to 15 June 2021, and stated that the balance above the prescribed element was £8,753.75. The judgment noted that the discrimination complaints were still to be determined separately.

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.
