Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr Tomlin's dismissal by CR Civil Engineering Limited was procedurally unfair. The judgment records that the dismissal was not dismissed on the merits; rather, the tribunal identified a procedural failing in the redundancy process.
On remedy, the tribunal found there was a 60% chance that the claimant would have been dismissed fairly had there been a proper redundancy procedure. It therefore said that any compensation would be reduced by 60% to reflect that chance. A further three-hour CVP hearing was listed for 20 November 2020 to determine remedy unless the parties agreed it beforehand.

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.
