Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 27 to 29 April 2021 before Employment Judge A James, with Dr V Weerasinghe and Mr P Secher sitting as members, the tribunal recorded that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim under section 95 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded against the first respondent, Nuffield Health. The age discrimination claims under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 failed against both respondents and were dismissed.
The tribunal also dismissed the claimant's wrongful dismissal claim under the Employment Tribunal (Extension of Jurisdiction) Order 1994. In addition, the claim for holiday pay/wages for the period 5 to 8 June 2019 failed and was dismissed. Both of those claims were only against the first respondent.
The claim for unpaid wages for the period 9 to 23 August 2019 succeeded against the first respondent, and the tribunal awarded £412. The tribunal further found that the claimant caused or contributed to his dismissal, and reduced both the basic award and the compensatory award by 50% under sections 122(2) and 123(6) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

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.
