Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Ms McDonald was unfairly dismissed by Dolwen Limited. The decision records that she was 31 at the date of dismissal and had been employed for more than two years. No further liability findings are set out in the written record beyond the unfair dismissal conclusion and the award that followed.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £380.26, calculated on two years' service at one week's gross pay of £190.13. The compensatory award was £2,651.56, made up of £2,151.56 for loss of earnings from dismissal until November 2020 and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The total award was therefore £3,031.82. The tribunal also stated that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply, and that interest at 8% per annum would accrue on any unpaid amount after 14 days from the date of judgment.

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.
