Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard at London South by CVP on 6 and 7 April 2021 before Employment Judge Tsamados sitting alone. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint because it found that the Claimant was not dismissed within the meaning of section 95 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal also dismissed the unlawful deduction from wages complaint. Its reason was that the Claimant accepted he had already received payment of the amounts he said had been unauthorised deductions. No monetary award was made.

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.
