Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Leeds on 15 and 16 December 2022, Employment Judge D N Jones found that Mrs Kelly Dugdale had been wrongfully dismissed by Cornerstone Estate Agents (Yorkshire) Limited. The tribunal awarded £11,538.40 in damages for notice pay, described as 12 weeks' pay at £961.54 per week.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed on 23 March 2022. It awarded £12,391.56 for unfair dismissal, recording a basic award of £9,707 and a compensatory award of £2,682.56. The compensatory award was said to consist of three weeks' net pay of £715.35 together with a 25% uplift for an unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance Procedures.
No award was made for loss of statutory rights because the tribunal found the claimant would have been fairly dismissed after a further three weeks if a fair procedure had been adopted. The judgment also states that the recoupment provisions do not apply.

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.
