Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 13 July 2020 before Employment Judge Hyams-Parish sitting alone, the tribunal held that Mr Gellatly’s unfair dismissal claim was well founded. It applied a 75% reduction for contributory fault to the basic and compensatory awards, leaving a basic award of £1,050 and a compensatory award of £125 on that claim.
The tribunal also held that the wrongful dismissal claim for notice pay succeeded, and awarded £2,339.68 for notice pay. In addition, the claim described as breach of contract/unlawful deduction from wages in respect of unpaid bonus succeeded as to the contractual bonus but failed as to the discretionary bonus, with £625 awarded for the contractual bonus only.
The respondent was ordered to pay total compensation of £4,139.68, made up of the reduced unfair dismissal awards, notice pay, and the bonus award. No injury to feelings award or interest is recorded in the written judgment.

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.
