Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent wrote shortly before the hearing stating that it had ceased trading, was in the early stages of placing itself into insolvency, and would no longer defend the action. The tribunal proceeded to assess remedy.
The tribunal held that the claimant's claims for non-payment of wages and breach of contract for failure to pay notice pay succeeded, awarding £1,230.24 and £498.86 respectively. It also held that the disability discrimination claim, primarily based on Section 15 of the Equality Act 2010, succeeded.
For the discrimination claim, the tribunal awarded £12,000 for injury to feelings plus £1,344 interest, and £2,991.74 for loss of earnings plus £167.21 interest, making £16,502.95 for the act of discrimination. It also made a £2,032 additional award under Section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent had not provided written particulars of employment throughout the employment and the tribunal considered the award just and equitable.

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.
