Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 13 and 14 February 2025 at Croydon by CVP, Employment Judge Lumby determined the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal against the London Borough of Southwark. The judgment states that the complaint was well-founded and that Mr David Paterson was unfairly dismissed.
The tribunal did not assess remedy in this decision. It expressly stated that remedy would be assessed separately, and the written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
