Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard evidence from three witnesses, considered the documentary bundle, and received oral closing submissions. It found that Mr P Byrne's complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and stated that this meant CastAlum Limited had unfairly dismissed him.
The tribunal also found that the claimant's conduct contributed to the dismissal. On that basis, it held that it was just and equitable for both the basic award and compensatory award to be reduced by 25%. The parties agreed that, taking those findings into account, the respondent was liable to pay a total of £8,910.

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.
