Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the Cardiff CVP hearing on 26 and 27 November 2020, Employment Judge S Moore held that Mr J Dunne's claim for constructive automatic unfair dismissal for asserting a statutory right under s.104 Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded. The tribunal also upheld his claim for unauthorised deduction from wages under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996.

The written order states that Lumina Investments Limited was ordered to pay a basic award of £7,496.97 and a compensatory award of £4,313.52, together with £2,998.78 for unpaid wages, £391.35 for unpaid statutory sick pay, £1,876.18 for unpaid holiday pay and £768.92 for loss of statutory rights. The extracted record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
