Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge E Burns, sitting alone at London Central on 18 December 2024, found that the Claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and unlawful deduction of wages in respect of holiday pay all succeeded. The judgment does not set out separate liability reasoning for each claim in the short extracted text, but it records those three claims as upheld.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £3,854.32 and a compensatory award of £4,811.96 for unfair dismissal, together with £420.39 for 9 days' holiday pay. The resulting subtotal was £9,086.67.
The tribunal then applied a 25% ACAS uplift of £2,271.67, bringing the total monetary award to £11,358.34. The judgment also records the recoupment information under the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, including a prescribed element of £4,344.78 for the period 4 November 2023 to 18 December 2024 and an excess over the prescribed element of £7,013.56.

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.
