Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against his former employer. The respondent did not defend the claim, and judgment in default had already been entered for the claimant; the hearing was listed to determine remedy.
The tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence that he started employment on 1 July 2014, his effective date of termination was 26 April 2019, and he had four complete years' service. It found that he made reasonable efforts to mitigate his loss and that his losses stopped when he commenced alternative employment on 20 May 2019.
The tribunal awarded a basic award of £3,150, loss of earnings of £3,627, £500 for loss of statutory rights, and £274.05 for lost employer pension contributions. The total award for unfair dismissal was £7,551.05. The judgment expressly stated that it did not relate to any breach of contract or unpaid wages claims during employment, which the claimant had not brought in the Employment Tribunal.

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.
