Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the claimant's complaint of constructive unfair dismissal well founded and awarded a basic award of £1,800 and a compensatory award of £500. It also recorded that the recoupment regulations did not apply to the sums awarded.
The claimant succeeded on unpaid holiday pay on termination of employment and was awarded £2,160 gross, with tax and national insurance to be accounted for by the claimant. The tribunal also awarded a further £1,200 because the respondent had not provided written particulars of employment.
Complaints against David and Heather Price were dismissed because they were not the employer and the complaints could not be determined against them.

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.
