Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Croydon from 13 to 22 January 2020 before Employment Judge Wright, Mr P Adkins and Mr M O'Connor. It held that Mr M Unachukwu did not have two years' service within s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996, so his unfair dismissal claim failed. His wrongful dismissal claim succeeded.
The tribunal also found the claims of harassment and victimisation in respect of the comment in the report dated 25/1/2018 were well-founded and succeeded. The supplied judgment text does not name the protected characteristic underlying those findings. The claims for fixed-term employee discrimination and holiday pay were dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant on 31 May 2019.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded £18,070.97 for wrongful dismissal and applied a 25% uplift under s.207A Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, producing £22,588.71 due on that claim. It awarded £8,600 for injury to feelings and applied the same 25% uplift, producing £10,750. Interest was calculated at £1,376, and the total sum due to the claimant was £34,714.71. The provisional remedy hearing listed for 10 July 2020 was vacated.

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.
