Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Mr Derek Rabbitt's unfair dismissal claim. The judgment records that the claim was well-founded and orders the respondent, P&H Sweetdirect Limited, to pay a basic award of £12,469.50. The tribunal also notes that no compensatory award was sought and that the recoupment regulations do not apply.
The disability discrimination claim was dismissed upon withdrawal, so the judgment does not record any merits finding on that claim. The hearing was conducted remotely before Employment Judge B Smith sitting alone, and the respondent did not attend.

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.
