Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Morton, sitting alone, found the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, and unlawful deduction from wages, including unpaid holiday pay, to be well founded. The respondent did not appear. The judgment records that the claimant was dismissed on 30 June 2020 and had 11 years' service, which was relevant to the unfair dismissal basic award.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded £8,339 as a basic award, £30,000 as compensatory compensation under ss123 and 124(1) Employment Rights Act 1996, and £500 for loss of statutory rights. For wrongful dismissal, the tribunal awarded £6,346 for 11 weeks' unpaid notice pay under the claimant's contract of employment.
The unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded in respect of unpaid furlough pay due on 3 July 2020, 12.6 days' unpaid holiday pay, and unpaid pension contributions, totalling £2,967.28. The judgment states that all sums were payable immediately. The total award was £48,152.28.

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.
