Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which Employment Judge Grewal recorded that the complaint of unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay compensation of £2,075, made up of a basic award of £1,575 and a compensatory award of £500.
The tribunal also found the complaint of breach of contract well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £25,000. No further reasoning is set out in the extracted text, and no separate apportionment is given for the breach of contract award beyond that sum.

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.
