Beaumont ABS Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Employment Judge Evans, sitting alone at Leeds by Cloud Video Platform on 9 November 2021, found that Beaumont ABS Limited had acted in breach of contract by making a unilateral change to the terms under which Ms Townsend was employed. The judgment records that the hearing was remote with the parties' consent and that the judge sat alone.

The tribunal also found that Ms Townsend suffered no financial loss as a result of the breach. On that basis, although the breach of contract claim succeeded, the tribunal did not order the respondent to pay any damages.

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.
