Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 liability judgment involving Mr C. W. Davies and Ms D. Chaloner against Mott MacDonald Ltd and two individual respondents. The tribunal found that Mott MacDonald Ltd dismissed the claimants unfairly, discriminated against them because of age, made unauthorised deductions from wages, breached their contracts in relation to notice of termination, and failed to pay holiday pay due.
The judgment also recorded that, because there was no evidence that Mr A. Holcroft and Ms D. Miles had been served and no responses had been received, the age discrimination claims against those respondents were stayed to a preliminary hearing. That hearing was to consider their involvement in the proceedings, the preparation of the claimants' quantification, and case management leading to any remedy judgment.
The tribunal said that the sums to be awarded to the claimants, payable by Mott MacDonald Ltd, might be assessed on written evidence and that a separate remedy hearing might not be required. No remedy figures were fixed in this 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.
