Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Louise Simpson, brought a single claim of unfair dismissal arising from her dismissal by Vulcan Engineering Limited on 23 September 2020 for gross misconduct. The respondent relied on allegations that she had been aggressive, confrontational and verbally abusive to colleagues over a period of time, in breach of workplace standards of behaviour. An investigation led by Mr Barnes collected witness accounts from employees who described fear, stress and a poor atmosphere in the production department, and the claimant denied the allegations throughout.

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.
