Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Adkin, sitting alone at London Central on 9, 10 and 11 October 2019, found that Mr O Ogundolie had been unfairly dismissed by Interserve Security (First) Limited under section 98(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal assessed a 25% reduction to reflect the claimant's contribution to his dismissal. It then awarded a basic award of £4,681.69 and a compensatory award of £6,119.12, consisting of agreed past loss of £4,078.20, future loss of £1,540.92, and loss of statutory rights of £500. The tribunal declined to award any additional sum for loss of a long notice period.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been wrongfully dismissed because he was dismissed without notice and there was no repudiatory breach on his part. Damages for wrongful dismissal were agreed at £2,079.86. The judgment records a total monetary award of £12,880.67, with a prescribed element of £4,078.20 for the period 27 September 2018 to 11 October 2019 and an excess over the prescribed element of £8,802.47.

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.
