Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, who appeared in person, and the respondent, which did not attend and was not represented, had the case heard remotely by CVP before Employment Judge P Klimov on 5 and 6 January 2021. The tribunal found that the respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without notice and ordered it to pay £2,280 gross damages. It also found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed.
For the unfair dismissal award, the tribunal applied a 25% uplift because the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. The basic award was £2,280, calculated as 6 years' service at £380 per year, and the compensatory award was £16,996.11.
The compensatory award included immediate loss from 12 February 2020 to the remedy hearing, with 23 working days at £65.28 and 207 working days of furlough-adjusted pay at £54.95, plus £400 for loss of statutory rights. From that figure the tribunal deducted £2,280 for wrongful dismissal and £1,520 awarded in separate proceedings for unlawful deduction from wages, leaving immediate loss of £9,476.09. Future loss was assessed at 15 weeks at £274.72 per week (£4,120.80), and the 25% uplift added £3,399.22. The recoupment annex recorded a prescribed element of £11,345.11, a prescribed period from 25 March 2020 to 6 January 2021, a total monetary award of £19,276.11, and an excess of £7,931.

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.
