Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge E Fowell, sitting alone at Croydon (by video) on 22 to 23 April 2024, heard Mrs Nicola Turner's claims against South East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. The claimant was represented by Thomas Parsons-Munn of counsel (instructed by Pattinson & Brewer LLP) and the respondent by Robert Dunn of counsel (instructed by DAC Beachcroft LLP).
The tribunal upheld the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal and dismissed the complaint of unlawful deduction from wages. The claimant was awarded compensation totalling £22,834.98, comprising a basic award of £3,426 and a compensatory award of £19,408.98. The compensatory award includes a 20% uplift for failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice. The judgment records that the recoupment provisions do not apply.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the rules. As a result, the judgment text available does not set out detailed factual findings or legal reasoning beyond the outcome and award.

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.
