Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Grewal in the case of Mr J Murray v Child & Child Ltd (In Liquidation). The tribunal recorded that the complaint of unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded.
For that unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay compensation of £76,321.24. The award was broken down in the judgment as a basic award of £1,016.00 and a compensatory award of £75,305.24.
The tribunal also found the complaint of breach of contract to be well-founded and ordered the Respondent to pay £7,449.25. The extracted text does not set out further factual reasoning beyond those findings and the stated monetary awards.

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.
