Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at London South on 13 to 15 March 2024 before Employment Judge A. Beale, Mrs C. Wickersham and Ms T. Williams. The Claimant, Mr V. Horne, brought claims against Fetcham Construction Limited for automatic unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure, detriment on the ground of making a protected disclosure, unpaid holiday pay, and wrongful dismissal.
The tribunal dismissed the two whistleblowing claims. The judgment records that the claim for automatic unfair dismissal under s.103A Employment Rights Act 1996 failed, and that the claim for detriment under s.47B Employment Rights Act 1996 also failed. The unpaid holiday pay claim was dismissed upon withdrawal by the Claimant.
The wrongful dismissal claim succeeded. The tribunal found that the Respondent had failed to pay notice pay and ordered it to pay the Claimant the gross sum of £663.46, described as one week’s pay and subject to deduction of any income tax or national insurance payable. No separate award was made for the dismissed or withdrawn claims in the extracted judgment text.

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.
