Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Lancaster, sitting with members J Blesic and DW Fields, declared that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The complaints of breach of contract (notice pay) and holiday pay were dismissed upon withdrawal, and the complaints of direct disability discrimination and discrimination because of something arising in consequence of disability were dismissed.
The basic award (5 x 1.5 weeks' pay capped at £571 = £4,282.50) was extinguished by a redundancy payment already made of £5,139. The compensatory award was calculated at three additional weeks' net pay of £580 each (£1,740) representing four further weeks before dismissal less one week already overpaid in lieu of the five weeks' notice due. After deducting the £856.50 excess of the redundancy payment, the net award was £883.50. The recoupment provisions did not apply, and the respondent's application for costs was refused.

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.
