Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr D Little had been wrongfully dismissed by Highline Ductwork Limited. It awarded £1,236 for that claim, described as two weeks' loss of wages and pension contributions of £1,030, uplifted by 20% because of breach of the ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance.
The tribunal also found that Mr Little had been unfairly dismissed. For that claim, it awarded £2,740.50. The judgment records a basic award of £2,362.50, reduced by 40% for contribution, and a compensatory award of £378. The compensatory figure was based on loss of statutory rights of £1,050, reduced by 50% for the chance of a fair dismissal, uplifted by 20% for breach of the ACAS Code, and then reduced by 40% for contribution.
The total payable by the respondent was £3,976.50. The tribunal stated that recoupment did not apply. The judgment was issued by Employment Judge Corrigan sitting alone on 19 March 2020.

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.
