Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and held that Liftec Crane Hire Ltd unfairly dismissed Mr G Danes. The judgment records that the hearing took place on 8 September 2022 by CVP and on 19 October 2022 in person before Employment Judge C M Macey.
On remedy, the tribunal applied a 25% reduction to the compensatory award under Polkey v A. E. Dayton Services Limited [1988] ICR 142. It awarded Mr Danes a nil basic award and a compensatory award of £5,365.97. That figure comprised £4,865.97 for loss of earnings, reflecting £6,487.96 for loss of earnings from 7 May 2021 to 31 March 2022 less the 25% Polkey deduction, plus £500 for loss of statutory employment rights.

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.
