Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr V. Nandakumar was unfairly dismissed. It also dismissed his complaint of disability discrimination, which was pleaded as a failure to make reasonable adjustments. The written judgment record does not set out the tribunal's reasons because reasons had been given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided in the written record.
On remedy, the tribunal ordered London Central Bus Company Limited to pay Mr Nandakumar £15,096.69 in total. That sum comprised a basic award of £12,337.50 and a compensatory award of £2,759.19, with the compensatory award made up of £2,561.89 for loss of earnings and £197.30 for loss of pension rights.
The tribunal also recorded the recoupment figures under the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996. The prescribed element was £2,561.89, the prescribed period was 12 October 2019 to 6 December 2019, and the excess of the total monetary award over the prescribed element was £12,534.80. The respondent's costs application succeeded in part, and Mr Nandakumar was ordered to pay £500 in costs.

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.
