Mr R Yaqub
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 22-24 June 2022 before Employment Judge Self, the tribunal found that Mr R Yaqub's unfair dismissal application was well-founded. It held that he would have been dismissed by no later than 10 January 2020 in any event, so any loss of earnings was limited to four weeks' net earnings.
The tribunal then found that Mr Yaqub had contributed to his dismissal and reduced both the basic award and compensatory award by 100%. It also increased any award by 25% because of non-compliance with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures (2015). After those adjustments, no award was made for the unfair dismissal claim.
Separately, the tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay four weeks' capped pay of £2,100 because Mr Yaqub had not been provided with a Statement of Employment Particulars and the tribunal considered that it was just and equitable to make that award.

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.
