Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Shukla at London Central on 25 June 2024, found Mr Ward's breach of contract complaint well-founded in relation to his 2022 bonus. It held that Authenticated By Limited failed to carry out a performance assessment for the bonus period from March 2022 to December 2022, and that if assessed Mr Ward was likely to have met one of the three key performance indicators and would have been contractually entitled to one third of his bonus.
The corrected judgment recorded damages of £894 for March to September 2022 and £500 for October to December 2022, and ordered the respondent to pay £1,394 gross. The complaints of breach of contract concerning the 2021 and 2023 bonuses were found not well-founded. The written record notes that the judgment was corrected under rule 69 to remove a typographical error in paragraph 2a.

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.
