Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Abbott, sitting alone, heard the case at London South Employment Tribunal by CVP on 8 July 2021. The tribunal held that Mrs Vanessa Lawrence's claim of unfair dismissal succeeded and recorded that she had been unfairly dismissed.
The written record does not set out the tribunal's reasons in detail. It notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal did not determine remedy at that hearing. It recorded that the claimant's entitlement to remedy would be decided at a later hearing if the parties did not agree it.

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.
