Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing the liability judgment sent on 20 January 2020, Employment Judge Spencer and lay members Mr J Carroll and Mr M Simon dealt with remedy on 3 and 4 February 2022. By consent, Bidfest Noonan Ltd was added as a respondent after it acquired the Axis business. The tribunal found the claimant had not failed to mitigate his loss, but his loss attributable to the respondents ended on 15 April 2019 when he took a job with Amazon. It also held that the ACAS Code on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 did not apply.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,524 and £500 for loss of statutory rights. It made no separate compensatory award for unfair dismissal because that loss was compensated within the victimisation award to avoid double recovery.
For failure to make reasonable adjustments over six weeks in 2017, the tribunal awarded £2,000 for injury to feelings plus £759.67 interest. On victimisation arising from the dismissal on 1 October 2018, it awarded £20,000 for injury to feelings plus £5,356.71 interest, and a compensatory award calculated on 28 weeks at £449.42, with £200 travel expenses added and £3,912 Universal Credit deducted, leaving £8,871.71 before £1,188.08 interest. The total award was £40,200.17. No separate award was made for wrongful dismissal, and the tribunal said the Recoupment Regulations 1996 did not apply.

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.
