Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Hull, sitting by video on 20 June 2024 before Employment Judge Miller, held that Mr A Storrie was unfairly dismissed by BHE Agricultural Contractors Ltd. It found that there was a 70% chance the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event. The tribunal also found that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, so the compensatory award was increased by 25% under s 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and then reduced by 50% for contributory conduct.

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.
