Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Mr A Zandrowicz's complaint of unfair dismissal against Amalgamated Construction Limited. It found that the respondent unfairly dismissed him.
On remedy, the tribunal first calculated a basic award of £9,675 under section 119 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It held that it was just and equitable to reduce that figure by 75% to reflect the claimant's conduct before dismissal, resulting in a basic award of £2,418.75.
The tribunal then made a compensatory award of £5,480, made up of seven weeks' net pay at £740 per week together with £300 for loss of the statutory right not to be unfairly dismissed. It reduced that award by 20% on account of the claimant's conduct which caused or contributed to his dismissal, producing a compensatory award of £4,384. The total award payable was £6,802.75, to be paid by 24 March 2020.

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.
