Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed on 21 June 2023. It also found that there was a 100% chance the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event on 31 July 2023 because his place of work closed. The respondent was ordered to pay a basic award of £7,500 and a compensatory award of £1,465, calculated as five point eight six weeks' pay at £250 per week.
The tribunal also found the holiday pay complaint well-founded. It found the respondent failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, and awarded £454.29 for 81.2 hours of accrued but untaken holiday.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of sick pay was dismissed as not well-founded. The tribunal also stated that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claimant's claim for repayment of a loan.

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.
