Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant's claim for unfair dismissal was well-founded and that she was unfairly dismissed.
The tribunal recorded a 30% chance that the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event. It also found that it was just and equitable to reduce the basic award by 10% because of the claimant's conduct before dismissal.
The respondent was ordered to pay a basic award of £3,829.35 and a compensatory award of £2,667.98, stated to be the actual sums payable after the deductions.

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.
