Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn relation to Mr P Pearman's role as general manager, the tribunal found that Bondco 628 Limited made unlawful deductions from wages between 14 February 2019 and 2 April 2019 and ordered repayment of £1,077.90 net. It also found that he had been constructively dismissed and that the constructive dismissal was unfair.
For that unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £8,948.10 and a compensatory award of £9,811.96. The compensatory award was made up of £9,311.96 for loss of earnings from 2 April 2019 to 1 November 2019 and £500.00 for loss of statutory protection.
In relation to the claimant's role as disc jockey, the tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide written reasons for dismissal and awarded two weeks' pay of £300.00. It also found that the respondent dismissed the claimant and that the dismissal was unfair, but awarded only a basic award of £3,525.00 and no compensatory award on that claim.
The tribunal further found that Bondco 628 Limited failed to provide written employment particulars for either role and awarded two weeks' pay for both roles, capped at £508 per week, in the sum of £1,016.00. Its summary of compensation recorded a total award of £24,678.96, made up of £1,077.90 for unlawful deductions, £12,473.10 in basic awards, £9,811.96 in compensatory award, £1,016.00 for written employment particulars, and £300.00 for written reasons for dismissal.

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.
