Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remedy hearing on 25 November 2022 before Employment Judge Heathcote sitting alone, the tribunal dealt with remedy following the Claimant's unfair dismissal claim. It refused the Claimant's application for reinstatement or re-engagement.
The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay compensation for unfair dismissal and found that the Respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice in relation to disciplinary and grievance matters. It therefore increased the award by 10%. The compensatory award also reflected a 50% Polkey deduction and a 25% deduction for contributory conduct.
The schedule recorded a basic award of £1,859.49 and a compensatory award of £1,613.75, producing a grand total of £3,473.24. The explanation for the compensatory award included £2,554.13 for lost earnings to 4 January 2022, £471.50 for pension loss to 4 January 2022, £400 for lost statutory rights, and £486.50 for loss of long notice, before the deductions and uplift were applied. For recoupment purposes, the monetary award was £3,473.24, the prescribed element was £1,053.58, the prescribed period ran from 21 October 2021 to 25 November 2022, and the balance payable immediately was £2,419.66.

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.
